Ever add a Miller Engineering billboard sign on the side of a building? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Miller rooftop signs are designed to be mounted straight into the roof of buildings. However, I'd like to mount one to the side of a building but since the sign and its contacts are all on a flat, straight plane, is this possible? Can the bottom contact portion of the sign be bent at a 90 degree right angle to allow it to be mounted to the side of a building instead on on a flat rooftop? If that isn't possible then any suggestion on an alternative way to mount a rooftop sign lon the side of a building? Your thoughts, ideas and suggestions on how I could do this are most welcome.

You could also build a ledge or bumpout to cover the wiring and that would save you from bending the electrical contacts.
