For whoever is working on older buildings and needs faded signs there's lots of cool decals of old vintage signage in at MBK.

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

Haven't those been sold on eBay for a while, directly by the manufacturer?

Might pick some up on my next MBK order.  Wish someone would do a decal (ghost or otherwise) for the Lee Jeans sign on that building just north of Dearborn station in Chicago.  Probably not there anymore, but in every single photo of the station in the 50s and 60s.

I gave up rivet counting when I couldn't see an N scale rivet anymore.

Yeah, this guy was or is on eBay, that's where I bought my sets. Really nice work. The ones with faded signs painted over even older faded signs so they are mingled are really cool. If he made unfaded versions of those signs they could be used as brand-new signs from earlier eras.

Tom,
A few years ago, I asked Gary Hoover what he had done about the Lee sign for his layout. I believe he made a decal from a picture in one of the Morning Sun books.

I bought some tag decals from him off of ebay. Way too thick for N Scale. It appears they were sprayed with a sealent that was from a rattle can. Hopefully they are better made now. If anyone can report, let me know. Also they were printed with no white (ink jet printed) but looks like the ghost signs appear to be printed with white.  Looks promising.
