Signs.
Jan, 2015. Decided to make some signs. One "Little Swale" for the trestle and "Yard Limit" for the yard. Took pieces of Plexiglas and cut to shape. Then screwed on a piece of wood to the back and drilled 1/4" for the shaft. Next, painted white and applied the lettering. Made the border strip out of thin cut electrician tape and applied. Sprayed a clear coat on but when it dried the tape shrunk. Will have to paint on the strip later. Also got a couple of premade signs for Xmas.
Oct, 2015. Wanted some "Whistle" signs, so made up the bases and painted.
Nov, 2015. Applied the letters and clear coated them.
While doing another page found the pictures above, So I guess these new ones below, that I took today (19Jan2018) are extra but good for reference.
Fall of 2017. Wanted some "Stay Off Of Track" signs so made these up. Again not sure when and did not take any pictures at the time, so these are catch up ones. One big difference is I printed the lettering on paper and put it on with outdoors Mod Podge. Then put three coats over to seal. Not sure if I like this? Not a very smooth coating and not sure how it will hold up to the weather.
Jan, 2017. Had a sign made up by a local train sign maker, with "Chemung" on it for the station shed. Mounted it on the siding above the bay window but I am not sure if I like it there?
Feb, 2017. Moved the sign to out on the over hang and like this better!
April, 2017. Found a "Will Be Back At" sign at the dollar store and installed on the inside of the door window.
