FAQ
Which pole variant should I choose?
Metal looks right for modern crossings (1960s onward). Creosote Wood matches the dark-stained look of mid-20th-century post-mounted signs. Brown Wood and White Wood work for early- to mid-century rural crossings where signs were natural or whitewashed lumber.
Are these pre-painted?
The signs come laser-cut with the yellow sign face and black markings; the post material varies by variant. Light touch-up may be desired depending on your weathering preferences.
How do I mount them?
Drill a small hole in your scenery base, run a drop of CA glue, and press the post in. Tweezers help — these are small HO scale signs.
What scale is this?
HO scale (1:87), the most popular model railroad scale in North America.
