My primary interest in these are for making custom decals for my Rock Island, Golden State and Southern Pacific models.</div><div><br></div><div>The idea of having some exterior railroad signs for the exterior building appears to be filled in obstacles, so another idea is to create some signs for the interior display. </div><div><br></div><div>It's very common to see <span style="font-size: 12pt;">"reproduction" signs in train clubs. I've seen signs painted on metal, </span>laser<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> cut wood and painted. The place that comes to mind is the black partition boards in the </span>aisle<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span>walkway<span style="font-size: 12pt;">. This could be filled with signs all scale to match </span>proportionally to each other and to the space available.<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">A couple years ago someone was selling a GOLDEN STATE letter board from a Pullman sleeper car for about $700. These things are about 20' in width so you need some space or real thing, but we could scale down a sign too to fit a specific location.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Other things that come to mind are reproduction drawings of old advertisements that promote travel to California via the Golden State, Super Chief, Californian, Overland Route. These could be accompanied with a maps - kids like maps.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Attached is an example of the GOLDEN STATE lettering used on Pullman cars in 1946 - the length is over 22' and the letters are only 5" tall. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Think about that as a possible fall 2016 project.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Tony</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">PS. let me know if you have any contacts with people that have the machine capability to laser cut wood or metal or plastic.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br></span></div> </div></body> </html>
