Ron, those lighted storefronts look amazing!

[Larry C]

Ron great job on the buildings and the lighting; you don't often see N scale detailed
this much so good on you. I noticed all three buildings have the old fashioned "iron storefronts"
SWEET!!

Thanks for the comments Mike, Jerry, Rick, Larry, they are very much appreciated.

Well the sign maker has been busy the last couple of days so it's time for another update. . . .

First up is how I make the signs that stick out from the building.





First thing is to cut the sighs from the carrier sheet.  This sign is produced by Blair Line.  They come on thin styrene (.010).  In order to have some thickness the two sides are sandwiched with a piece of .020 styrene.





The three pieces glued together, I let this dry over night before I trimmed it to size.




I drilled 2 x .015 holes in the end that is attached to the building.  I then glued .015 brass wire into the holes and then drilled twi matching holes in the building where the sign is to be mounted.  I do this to add more support and strength to the sign as the modules do travel and I don't want to spend 1/2 a day looking for signs that have falling off in transit.





The sign mounted onto the building.

Now on to the buildings. . . . .

The Grocery Store.





The pawn shop.





And the three buildings all in their glory.

Thanks for looking in.

Ron great job on the signs!! I remember the IGA grocery stores; a bygone era for sure.
The diner sign name reminded me that Acme Food Markets used that name as their private label
brand; my Dad worked for them for years before they closed. I guess I'm showing my age.Lol.

[Rick]

Ron, fantastic job on those signs.

Larry, Acme's are still in business in NJ and PA and probably elsewhere too.

[Jerry]

Thanks for the comments, Karl, Larry, Rick, Jerry, Philip, Mike, Greg and Tom.

This has been a fun project and I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Work has started on Rexall Drugs.

First item on the list is finishing the lighting for the building.





This is where I left off, with the light boxes installed on the second floor.





First up was making the grand floor ceiling.  Seeing as the floor would be the same side I cut out the floor at the same time.  The grid on the left is the light locations.





The lights installed and working.





The ceiling installed.

Next up Signage. . . . . . .
