A Slight Improvement

[doctorwayne]

The plaques showing the industries and the layout of the various tracks is a good idea, Guy, but it would also help if your industries were advertising themselves with signs of some sort.

You could add them using dry transfers or decals right on the structures, or make or buy ones printed on paper or cardstock.

This one is a decal that my brother printed for me.  Done in black, with the areas of the lettering and outline strips left clear, it was applied to a white background strip painted on the structure...



This one is individual dry transfer letters, applied directly on the structure...



Hoffentoth Bros. have coal and ice outlets in most of my towns, so I cut a stencil, then airbrushed the name on the fences around the property....



Since that photo was taken, I've also added printed billboard-style signs to the end of the buildings, too....




The P & M Languay factory's sign was done with individual plastic letters from the craft department of my former LHS...



This one is dry transfers applied to a pre-painted background...



The layout of ones shown below were done by my brother, but printed by a commercial printer, done gratis with an order of printing done for his business...










These smaller ones were done earlier, in a similar manner...
