A Name at Last (and a Burger Bar!)

I finally decided on a name for the layout, and added name-boards to the station today.
I settled on a French influenced one, inspired by a local road which in turn is named for a medieval landowner whose legacy is the road name and the remains of a gatehouse.
I think that the name fits in well with the Southern Region near-coastal setting.
The signs are "Knightwing" white metal (8 pack) and are grey primed with a bit of white dry-brushing (thanks to RMweb for the info on that subject!)
I produced the signs using an Android phone app called Phonto, it's really handy and easy to use. They are printed on regular paper, mounted on thin white card.
In order to ensure that the signs were placed uniformly, I made a simple card template for drilling the post-holes:
I really like the way they look on the station - they make it look more "real!"
Other jobs attended to today were the addition of a "Wimpy" bar (the back scene is nearly complete!)
I used a bit of artistic license - I don't think that there would prototypically be signage on the rear/side of the building, but what the heck!
Thanks as always for looking in!
