You're welcome Dave! Hopefully once this Covid crud ends a few of us might meet up at York or Allentown to swap war storys about how we overcame the limits of a sheet of plywood.
On that note, I'm in the planning stages of a display type layout on a 36" hollow door core and I like the this idea I came across for the base...
or this type...
But instead of just arches or the word Lionel put "The 48 Club" across under the edge between the legs in Art Deco MN letters like in the logo but long ways...
But I'm currently not finding any online sign people that will do the Art Deco MN font and my skills with a router or scroll saw aren't quite up to the task. I'm thinking the letters and border would be raised in black with the base being yellow. My original plan was for the legs and edging being a semigloss cream to recreate an older display look but I'm open to them being black.
As for the Club card and certificates I'll be finalizing the card this week end and hopefully can fix the issues I have with the certificate, mostly when I try printing one it comes out slightly off center enough it's noticeable and the 48 club header seems to be a bit fuzzy or out of focus looking and nothing I've tried so far seems to fix it. On the plus side I did find my pack of parchment paper but I have only 49 sheets to work with and I don't remember where I got it from so I really can't mess up any of them!
