@Dave_C posted:Mel, nice videos. I noticed your grade crossing sign in the second video. The B&A had similar signs. I made some using a copying machine at work. Can’t remember off hand which book I found it in. I think they came out close to scale just copying the image. Made the post from basswood and just cut and pasted the paper print on to it and just painted up to the edges. The sign came sort of pre weathered right out of the copier.
Dave,
Your railroad crossing scene and sign are so realistic! Looks like a place in Worcester…
My sign was made from a small kit by Banta Modelworks but I chose not to use the supplied lettering. Instead, I made a text document with the lettering, saved it as a photograph, had it printed on photographic paper, and then glued the pieces to the painted crossbuck. My favorite scene on my model railroad.
