Making Signage For A Model Railroad Layout

If you want to make shop signs, road signs, railroad signs etc for placement around your model railroad layout, you might want to use your computer laser or ink-jet printer. Coat the ink-jet sign with Polly-Scale Flat Finish so that weathering will not cause the color to run.

Under no circumstances use the popular technique of dulling the sign with steel wool. The waterproof seal will be broken and the in-jet inks will run and ruin the sign. Instead use pastels for dulling the signs. This is less of a problem with laser printers or color copiers.
