has developed a kit for a
universal park entrance sign that can be used in a variety of
applications. Although the arched sign comes in only one size,
the HO and O scale figures pictured above demonstrate how
the sign lends itself to various scales. The unit is 4" wide and
3.66" tall. It sells for $58.95.
The sign comes with about 70 individual names for personal-
izing the arched message. In addition to the Model Railroad
Layout sign shown above, several peel and stick signs are
included for circuses, amusement parks, and trailer parks, etc.
The lights, shown above in yellow, flash in sequence. To see
the lights in action visit
