More signage, please.

 

Some early efforts with a couple Woodland Scenics metal structures.

Not the sharpest lettering but they work as background structures.

More wall signs please.

Since I model the 1950s, I was out of the game with containers. Here's
a shot of a couple morning commuter trains at rush hour. During the evening rush, both tracks are one-way outbound.

Yipes, stripes. (bonus points if you can identify the 1960s ad campaign that used this expression).

 

I used to really like Fruit Stripe gum!


I liked Fruit Stripe gum too. In fact, just thinking about it gives me the cravings for some which I probably haven't chewed in over 50 years.

I'm surprised they were still using the slogan in 1991 although not the full jingle.

Yipes, stripes, Beech-Nut's got 'em

Yipes, stripes, five different flavors
