Having drawn an entrance sign for Gernise End Station, I decided to use the corporate logo that I had created to make a couple of platform signs for the yet to be built platform. I created the sign boards/posts from plasticard sheet/strip. I grained to 'woodwork' by drawing a razor saw sideways along it. I have drilled holes in the bases of the posts in anticipation of inserting wire pegs with which to plant them into the platform surface.
The signs were created using Microsoft paint and printed on white card. As the signs are intended for indoor use only I did not worry about sealing them. I stuck the card on using silicone glue, so in theory it should be possible to peel off a damaged/faded sign and replace it with a fresh one if required.
I have mocked up a picture of what they should look like in situ, once the platform has been built, by leaning one against the fence on the goods loading dock and placing a strip of hedge behind.
