Good Morning Tomkat,

Thank you for these wonderful signs and building flats. I am looking forward to using many of them to bring my layout to life. I especially like the building flats as they will come in very hand for the shelf portion of my layout.  Please consider preparing and posting a Tomkat Printing Company building flat. I would like to include this on my layout with some of the other industrial buildins you have been kind enough to furnish.

John R

Wow! Tom thank you so much for grouping the ESSO logos!  I've downloaded it and am looking forward to my "Esso" station on the layout.

Where would I find more modern signs.  I have a store front that I want to add posters in the front window and a modern interior but am drawing a blank.  I have flipped through magazines and have not found anything that would fit the scale.  Any suggestions?

Try google images, ebay auctions, product web sites, ect. Just copy & paste, crop, edit to size for your scale.

I too have been looking for 50's or 60's Sinclair oil and gas station signs, etc. I remember sinclair going to the Dino the dinasaur as a marketing measure. I have seen a couple among these posts but still searching for more. I planned to kit bash a station.

Keep the background buildings coming. I've already printed one off to the size I want and plan on doing more. The service you are doing for the hobby and your fellow modellers is outstanding. All I can say is thank you for the variety and inspiration.
