Tomkat, my hearty THANKS from another Missourian. Love these, and the hardest part will be picking out which ones to use on my layout and its buildings...Yeah!!

Do you have any signs that would be more common in the Southwest/Western U.S.? My fictional RR is set in the Southwest (AZ, CO, NM, ...).

Again - many, MANY thanks for your time and for sharing! Maybe I'll see you sometime at the Boeing shows. Our MRR club heads up for most of those.

If I had the space, I'd use a bunch of the smaller ones to do an outfield fence at the minor league ball field!

These are great.  Keep 'em coming!  I've pulled a few images myself.  The Baltimore American Beer sign came from an antiques website.

 TomKat:

Your pictures are fantastic and I thank you for posting them. I am saving all to my HD and  I have printed out several on Photo Paper and they look great.  I used the street signs first on photo paper and cut tooth pics to length and painted them silver. Now I have lots of stop signs, and RR signs and speed limit and no parking signs.

Now all I need is "Licence Plates" in HO and I will be a happy camper.  It would be great to get a sheet that contained about 20 or so each of Montana, Nevada, NM and Texas.  Have you considered making something like that?

thanks,  Sadie Hawkins and Larry

 Thanks for posting the signs!  It has to be a lot of work putting these sheets together.  I downloaded a couple to put on the side of one of my buildings -- tomorrow's project!  I was looking for something like this in the hobby center, but nothing really caught my eye.  Yours did.....Thanks!
