@baltimoretrainworks postedBut 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.

Maybe get the letters cut in black vinyl from a sign shop and apply it to a smooth surface painted in a bright rattle can yellow. I think that would do the trick. Black legs, definitely. (True 3D letters could be cut wth a CNC but that font would make it hard to get a good job- so thin in places. The vinyl would come on a sheet and so keep its alignment.)
And the layout would have to be set at night with a little dry ice fog, streetlights and the club building prominently featured. Do it!
