I noticed these on Ebay.

There are 3 options. They work out at around 40p/sign.
I am tempted but I need more buildings and fences first!

They look interesting to add some period detail to station and "village" scenes. Plenty of variety. Only a couple of concerns - What is the size of the sheet ? So one can work out a comparative size and while water resistant how are they going to stand up to UV in a "full sun" locations. He's got a 100% rating on a lot of trades but......

Are you aware Back2Bay6 has a range of metal signs of a similar style at reasonable prices, sizes shown on his website. I have a few that have been in the garden about 4-5 years now. no signs of deterioration yet. I'm just a happy punter, no financial connection.

I ordered a sheet a week or two ago. I got them delivered to my son's address so, apart from waiting for my other purchases to arrive at his house, they await a trip up North. Sound almost too good to be true. But I'll let you know.

Please let us know long-term how these fair 'in the wild'..

I fear that a fortnight under water is not a real test of their longevity.. Sun, and UV may well be their real undoing.

I bought a page of adverts several weeks ago which were similar.
Page is 10.5" x 8"
They seem to be printed on some thin plastic 'card' & then stuck onto another plastic 'card'. I would suspect the first thing to go would be the glue between these layers. As I want them for indoors this will not be a problem. They would in fact be more use to me if they were self adhesive.
I note the price went up last week!
