That’s the good news.

Might be an interesting option.  Lettering would be in red.  Superstructure in black.  I am waiting on a call back on pricing for a multi-sign run.  Original set up would be about $100.  After that, price is based on the cost of materials plus 20%.  >> >> If anyone knows of a potential source for obtaining the support structure in photo-etched metal, please let me know as the red plastic sign itself could be attached to the metal superstructure and that would probably be more realistic.  >> >> Bill D>> N&W Steam Only>> ________________________________________>> NW-Modeling-List at nwhs.org>> To change your subscription go to>> http://list.nwhs.org/mailman/options/nw-modeling-list>> Browse the NW-Modeling-List archives at>> http://list.nwhs.org/pipermail/nw-modeling-list/>> ________________________________________>> NW-Modeling-List at nwhs.org>> To change your subscription go to>> http://list.nwhs.org/mailman/options/nw-modeling-list>> Browse the NW-Modeling-List archives at>> http://list.nwhs.org/pipermail/nw-modeling-list/> > ________________________________________> NW-Modeling-List at nwhs.org> To change your subscription go to> http://list.nwhs.org/mailman/options/nw-modeling-list> Browse the NW-Modeling-List archives at> http://list.nwhs.org/pipermail/nw-modeling-list/________________________________________NW-Modeling-List@nwhs.orgTo change your subscription go tohttp://list.nwhs.org/mailman/options/nw-modeling-listBrowse the NW-Modeling-List archives athttp://list.nwhs.org/pipermail/nw-modeling-list/
