I don't beleave my luck.

I'm drawing up some plans right now for a general store (with a repair shop or something simaler added-on) and I've been needing some signs for just about all of the products you have on this latest sheet.

There are a few that I need that I don't see, but I can piece those together from several of the previous sheets.

   Thank You.

     P.S. I'll try to get photos up, if I remember to take some (it ain't going to be pretty. I don't have a layout, although I may be able to build a small diorama or something)

Sort of an ironic twist with the signs in the first batch.

I'm a chicken farmer, and Purina laying mash is what they get (along with cracked corn) and on the first row, 2 large signs for Purina Chicken feed. And, I was imidiately drawn to them when I saw them.

I'm going to put those on the layout real quick.

the North East Rail Modeler

Do you have North America's largest stock-pile of signs?

I just enjoy finding them & using them on my layout. I'll post them as I find them. Most are pre 1970, as I model 1960-1970. Well here are a few more.

Lots of exelent signs. I may print out every sheet, and keep a binder full of them, and see if I use them all up.
