Hi Gaugers!

I'd like to get your input on what kind of business signs you need for your layout. What's missing or what should there be more of? Examples might be bowling alley, Chinese restaurant, tavern, dry cleaner etc. Feel free to repeat any of these examples if that's what you want.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers
:D Val

Nice if it's for something that might logically be near the tracks, maybe providing goods and services for the train crews, such as a cheap diner or hotel, etc.

RailRoad Diner, small fuel oil distributor, lumber yard, cement business, or something like "Consolidated Freight Distibutors".

It's not rocket surgery
How about grocers, hardware stores, gas stations appropriate for 1920s and 30s small towns?

Maybe farm equipment dealer, coal dealer, and "billboard-style" ads that were painted on the sides of buildings for photographers, Coca-Cola, tailors, etc, etc.

Hey Val,
Great idea! Most of my thoughts have already been listed above by others but how about beer signs that would hang off the front of bars?
