What sign do you have at the entrance to your train room?
Here's the sign above the door that leads down to my train room / man cave. It's self-explanatory.

I didn't post a sign at the entry to my train room. Instead, I mounted two brochure holders on the inside wall and placed two info brochures about the layout for visitors -- basically answers to FAQs. Those takeaways describe the features of the layout with photos and tell the story of its design and construction.

Basement layout. Walk down the stairs and you are greeted by the 1885 glass negative images of the Newport Electric Trolley Company. Look to the right and you will see the MBTA Rapid Transit map. Turn the corner and you are welcomed to "Poppie's Trains.
Nothing yet, but "All Aboard!", or "Trains to Denver, left Track" have entered my thoughts.
My daughter had this made for me at Christmas about 8 years ago.

No sign mainly because not sure what to put up. The basement is part train room, part weight/exercise room for my wife and I, and part non-train hobby area. We don't have children, so the area is not child proof. So maybe:
My dear Forum friend, Leroof, gave me this sign a few years ago when he and his wife stayed over at my house when they drove down from Maine and we attended the Westchester Toy & Train Show in White Plains, NY:
He also gave me an Erector Set bridge that I call my George Washingmachine Bridge:

You got it!

None at the entrance, because I don't want to be confused with those annoying people who post "EAT" "FOOD" and "Live Laugh Love" signs in their kitchens.
I might have some PRR and LIONEL signage INSIDE the trainroom however...

These signs are in the display room. My wife pruchased these for me.
This sign is in the layout room.
Thanks;

There used to be a sign that said “Watch your Head” but it got hit too many times and broke off. 🙁

This is at the bottom of my stairs. The Ohio State border is from the previous owners. It'll be removed. Doesn't go with the theme of the room.
Years ago when Lionel had their Customer Service Center out in Ohio they had an Open House event. While there I had seen this sign mounted high up on the wall in one of there service areas. A few years later after they closed the Ohio service center I was at the York Train show and low & behold I saw this sign under someone’s table. I made the owner an offer and that made my day. I was shocked on how heavy it was. As I was carrying it to my car I ran into Mike Regan. He asked where I got that sign. Told him where and he just shook his head.
None but I gave my friend a NYC sign and he mounted it over the bathroom door.
Don't have a sign yet, but if I did it would say:
"Only members of Train Collectors Anonymous (TCA) allowed past this point"
