Wow! You may need to take down another shelf. Would be cool with some Hobby Lobby poster board sky behind and just over the tops.

appears Bob was into a little of everything. Bilt-Ez buildings, Chein ferris wheel, Wolverine crane, new Marx fuel depot, and he made it all work out.

Bob and I had similar interests. We worked together a lot putting layouts for shows together. It been funny sorting his stuff out and seeing a lot of stuff that used to be mine. We traded stuff quite a bit. He was my VP when I was president of the TCA Western Division.

Love the paint scheme, great job.
Will you be doing some junk cars to match the Loco's paint scheme. Passenger cats would look gteat with those colors.
I too use new colors for my rebuilds as I call them fantasy Locomotive.
If you have to repaint them you can not push them off as original/restored so why not enjoy them and repaint them as you wish.
Bob you did a great job on this! This certainly is an inspiration for others to try their hand on bringing new life to a great little piece of history. The 259s are great pullers and deserve a new lease on life. Any plans for matching passenger cars? You should be proud of what you accomplished on a first attempt. Well done! 
Thanks guys. I have 3 passenger cars that I plan to do in the future. They should be a lot easier (less parts). I may do a work train as well. For now I’ll take a break and get back to building my layout.
Bob
Very cool Bob
Thanks for sharing

I think it looks just fine.
If you want it to be bigger, make the building smaller.

I think the size of the sign looks in proportion to the building.
I agree with the others - it looks fine...of course there might be a way to make it larger. It looks like that building kit is modular. If so just remove a floor and take away some of the length and...presto - bigger sign!
SHHHHHH, don't tell anyone but the creator of this thread, Joe Gozzo retired Friday.

Yes, I guess I could do that... 
I wish I could post an external picture of the prototype to show why I think it is small. Copyright laws, uhg! Anyway, the prototype seems to go from edge to edge of the building. Anyway, you guys are probably right, it's fine.
George
Happy retirement Joe!!!
