Here is a flat background building of a power sub-station & a brick wall made for a feed mill. Also some smaller buildings, Power & Light Co., Cafe, Saloon, Barber Shop, & run down brick shed.
Yow! Crystal Beach! That's a name out of my past, if it's the same one I'm thinking of. There was a Crystal Beach amusement park outside of Vermillion, Ohio, maybe 15-20 miles West of where I live, on the Sunny Southern Shore of Lake Erie (well, maybe not so sunny right now)! They closed sometime in the early 50s, before I had a chance to get there. Opened in 1907, a miniature railroad built about 1924, a roller coaster was built in 1928 for $50,000, park closed in 1958, and the roller coaster sold at auction in 1962 for $400, along with a number of other park buildings. Kind of a nostalgia trip, there.
mecovey Thanks again for your efforts! This link http://s1131.photobucket.com/albums/m547/mecovey/ has some of my budding efforts at scenery and all of the signs came from you. Thanks again

NICE!...... I always enjoy seeing how others use the signs. I will keep on looking for more signs & billboards. Lets see some more photos from others. Tkat.
Here are some building flats I made with photos & added some signs & doors to them. I printed them on card stock, cut them out, trim away the background. You can mount them right on your backdrop or add a stiff backing to the card stock to make a stand-alone scene.
tomkat-13,
Just wanted to say thanks for the signs. I have saved most of them to my computer system and even used a few on recent projects. I thought you might like to see how they were put to use:
Here are a couple of pictures of my General Store:
There are a few more pictures on my website. Thanks again and keep them coming.
Remember its your railroad

I have most of the signs as well. I plan on using them on when I start getting some buildings done. Thanks Tomkat-13 for all your work putting these sign sheets together!

In my case, I need to have a layout first. I'm still gathering the trackwork for the layout.
But, yeah, these awesome signs are going on some buildings.
I have them on my hard drive as well. I've printed some sample pages and shared some with a friend who is in O Scale 2 rail. Mine will be HO.

I have them all on my hard drive also!!!!
I have started to ad a few to my layout as needed. If you have any photographs of your sign usage feel free to add them to this thread.
I'm saving them too, and now I'm starting to use them to put signs on my layout. Photos will follow in a few weeks.
