I have several brick buildings on my HO scale layout with expanses of blank walls. I would like to put some large signs on them as was often done in the transition era, the era I am modeling. Does anyone know of commercially available water slide decals depicting the types of ads seen on buidlings in that time frame? I need them in the 3" to 5" range in size, either width or height or both.
This thread contains a few thousand signs for you to print out yourself ! ....

Hi Roger:
You might want to look at this decal film. It seems to offer all the features with few limitations:

I have some but I haven't used it yet. It works with ink jet printers whereas some decal film doesn't. One distinct advantage is that you don't have to seal it to stop the colours from bleeding when you wet the decal.
With all the signs that are available in the thread that Mark referred to you should be able to do pretty much whatever you want. You can easily adjust the size of the signs to suit your location.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
