Mikie6034 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Good evening! Can anyone give me any tips on how to make a sign for the front of my layout displaying its name? Thanks Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Banger Blue Posted November 20, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 20, 2014 There are companies that do replica totems, I was looking at this company the other night after seeing their add in the latest Model Rail. As well as a range of replicas you can get a custom made one http://www.offtherailsonline.com/customtotem Not connected to or used the company.

Guest Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Unsure of the era of what you're modelling, if a totem is too "early", cut vinyl on a coloured or white background works well. Check ebay or any high street graphics shop. The BR logo and BR font are readily available. I had my local car graphics shop make up something similar a few years ago. They didn't have the BR font on their system so I just gave them a copy on CD. Edit: I've just made up the artwork for them to make me another sign, low res, but you get the idea...

michaelp Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 The type above is what I would go for as my layout is too modern for the totem types, also, I would want a depot name type of sign anyway. I did a search on Ebay but could only find the totem type of signs. Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael If you get stuck, let me know Depot name, TOC and anything else you want on the sign (including how big you want the sign to be), and I can upload a quick proof that any vinyl shop or vinyl seller on ebay could work from.

Red Devil Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Call in and have a word with your local sign maker, I had this one done for a few quid in the style of period street sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie6034 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Thank you all very much for your help! Will get cracking with asking local sign makers... If not then a totem will fit perfectly! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
