Hello from a newbie and guidance required...

[Wayne@Penkridge]

Hi all, first time post so be gentle!!! I'm relatively new to the world of garden railways but the layout is progressing nicely!

I am however looking for some guidance or help. I am trying to locate a supplier of station name signs (both platform and signal box) but cannot find anything on the "net" bigger than 'O' scale.

Do any of you good folk know of a suitable supplier of G scale station name signs that you could refer me to?

Many thanks in anticipation all.

Welcome aboard. I'm sure one of our esteemed members will be along shortly with a solution.

Welcome Wayne.

Have you tried Garde Railway Specialists, or P&S Hobbies?

Looking through this months Garden Rail magazine, Brandbright or Slaters Plastikard might be other sources.

You can buy plastic letters to make up your own signs....

I've spotted a couple of options on ebay. One wants £40 for two signs, which makes this one . . .

16mm SM32 G45 Station Name Board (customised to your supplied name) | eBay UK

All our signs will be in capital letters unless you specify otherwise. NEW Colour ! White on Green background.

. . . look like a bargain!

All the best

Hi Wayne, it's nice to have you here. Ignore what some say about the humour as we are nearly all perfectly sound, in mind if not in body.
I wonder if any of our 3D printing members may be able to help with the signs? It may be worth putting a request in that section of the forum.
But above all enjoy yourself!
