What sign is at the entrance to your train room?

Here is mine:

At the top of the stairs:

At the bottom of the stairs:

This is my sign going into my basement train room.

My very sexist oriented exterior doorway entrance sign along with the interior doorway signs.  Believe me, there are a lot more signs throughout the basement .😃😃😀

Mine was a copy of a sign from a station platform that said "Beware The Trains", white letters on red background.

Again I'm just a small operator. Sign is attached to the layout table which is adjacent to the pool table.

Just before the pandemic, my wife decided she wanted to replace all the moulding, interior doors and door jams in the house. For the layout room, I deperately wanted an office-style door with a frosted glass upper window, on which I'd have hand-painted "Offices, ET&WNC railroad" in a 1930s typeface.

Naturally, she shot that down and the room got the same door all the others got.  But this sign had to go atop it.

The 'no trespassing' sign inside the door I created from my own imagination, before good info on the only known real such sign the Tweetsie had (mounted on each end of the covered bridge at Hampton, TN) came to light. Eventually I'll recrate that sign but slightly smaller as the real one as 3X3 feet!

Once I do that, perhaps I'll mount it above the door in place of this sign...

Vern, That is a beautiful room and layout. Meticulously done.  Plus there is a pool table! I've never seen it from this angle.

You always call it small, I would call it midsize. Love the vanity plates, the Department 56 pieces, the bright red curtains and that air whistle. Very nice job.

You have been warned!

Hey, thank you Wood. It’s been up and running for 11 years now. When the grandkids get tired of running trains, we play pool. 😉

But I still like yours better. A larger layout with more space for running trains and accessories. Love it. 👍

I'm still decorating the entrance to my work room and the in the clouds layout.

My brother gave me a brass plaque saying "I Don't do Scenery".   It is proudly displayed on the Run Room entry door.

Geez, the entrance to my Evidence Room now seems wildly inappropriate.

Well, my workshop is a tad off-topic...

The former train room still retains traces, of course...
