Jay,
There are several pages with Esso signs, but you have to be prepared to dig through 616 pages to find them. I've been downloading every page that has been posted and saving them into a special folder on my computer.
I'm even finding some of these signs with people in the image useful for G-scale scratch-built building windows to make them 'lived in' insted of just blank. I print them on plain printer paper and glue to the insides of the windows. The buldings are going to be so far away from the viewers that it isn't apparent there's no depth to the scene.
AntonioFP45 Great help and service you're doing for modelers here. 1. I may have to go through all 37 pages to find it, but I'll ask this: Did you include the logo/sign for Esso? (Exxon's ancestor). As a kid, I remember my dad going to Esso stations to gas up our 68 Pontiac LeMans back in the early 70s. I would like to model a generic version of an Esso station. 2. Is there a particular brand of decal-printer paper that is preferable for these signs as far as quality?

I saw some ESSO signs back on page 33.

Did you "put a tiger in your tank"?
I still have a couple of tiger pitchers from that Esso promotion.
I no longer have the little tiger tail that used to fasten to the fuel filler cap.

Thanks Tomcat- you da best!!!
Might you have any traffic signs, i.e., stop, yield, speed limit, etc.???
Just in case no-one mentioned it previously: I subscribe to REMINISCE magazine. It;s a GREAT source for all things from the past and fits in very well with model railroading, regardles of scale. TTFN......papasmurf
GP39 WOW !!!! Going to have to get a good supply of ink. Great Post!

Great Post!
It would take at least 1 paper ream.
My latest file-download total is 560+ -- And another 30+ including signs on buildings -- But who's counting?
If I were to print to 3-hole-punch: I would also print the filename on the hardcopy for quick reference, and; by using the trusty-old B+W Laserjet that most excellently greyscales.
Any desired sign will then be cropped out to be a color deskjet to hardcopy.
P.S.: B+W Laserjet is how Information Station PDFs go to my notebook hardcopy

tomkat-13,
Thanks for the new signs and building fronts. I've filed them away for future reference and use.
You are providing a valuable service to modelers everywhere. Thanks again.
I have used some of your signs to liven up some of my buildings and other portions of the BRVRR layout. An upcoming project is to apply several feed grain, seed and other agricultural products signs to my grain elevator scene.
If you are interested, some of the signs I have used are shown on the What's New Page of my website. Link is in my signature.
Remember its your railroad

I'm new to the forums, not to modeling.
