New Miller Entrance Sign

Sharp sign.  Lots of options for this one.

Another great idea by Miller! Can't wait to see what else is coming out.

 

I only have one .... the "Budweiser" billboard mounted on my seedy, yard-side tavern. Its a real attention grabber, especially at twilight.

Got the email this morning about the new sign and I like it a lot.

Probably would go with the amusement park sign if the price is right.

Does anybody know what the price will be?

Hi Don,
  The price is $58.95. I forgot to update our web site after the Newsletter was sent. Got to stop working so late, sorry. It  has since been updated.
Sincerely,
Chris

Hi Don,

That looks like a great sign, and I shall certainly be ordering one. But, why is there an extreme lack of female names to choose from?  We like our trains just as much as you guys do. 

Being a Bob, a reservation email was sent within minutes of receiving the newsletter.

 

And I have absolutely no idea on where I will put it.

Very cool!

Peter

Nicole;

You aren't the only one left out.

He did mention instructions on adding a custom name.

Just called and ordered two of the layout signs. They look like a hit to me. Going to have my friend Bob pick them up at York as I, not paying attention to the dates, booked a cruise on the same dates as York. Dumb move on my part. ! Bet that won't happen again!!!!!

Mine isn't there either...

 

You should make one that looks like the Ocean City boardwalk sign.

 

Jerry

BAZINGA!!!

 

My wife's sentiments, exactly, Nicole!

 

Since you can't print all things to satisfy all people, how about a different idea???...

 

How about an APP in the package that would take the purchaser to a site where you could load in your own name(s), entrance title, ....whatever..., limited, of course, in number of lines, size/styles of font, etc. to fit the marquee area.  Once satisfied, you could have your own printer print it out complete with 'cut-lines'. 

 

So, then EVERYONE could be happy!!

 

I (we) definitely will be ordering/purchasing this one!!!!

Very cool Chris. I am in for at least one. Hope they are at York.

 

I am no MS Office wizard but was able to make my own sign using the Word Art utility in MS Powerpoint in about ten minutes. Print it on a transparency using a laser printer and Bob's your uncle.

 

Pete

An App, online link, or font download if not a typical MS Word font would be very worthwhile.  If the graphics come on a specialized decal type "paper" and not the easily obtainable and affordable clear school/office transparency sheets, another consideration would be to include a blank "paper" for those who wish to customize.  Aside from the attraction names, it might be worthwhile to provide no given/personal names but rather more blank sheets?

 

And why are their three versions of the name Al (Al, Alan, & Allan) offered?  I can't believe that name is so popular.

Jerry, I already asked Chris about a bigger arch for over road sign. No plans now but we can keep asking. I'm thinking of getting one for "Vicky's Trailer Park". Can do it with decals. Don

I have about 15 of their signs & love them. Don't think I'll go with this one. My name isin't on the list butb that's not unusual.

You would think where I share the same first name as the owner "Chris" would be in there.

Looks great. Gotta have one! Terry

Looks like an "Ed's" version is there, but I'm not sure where I'd put one.... Probably should wire and hook up the signs I have first!

 

Ed

One of those law firms that do the television commercials would probably make it into a sexual discrimination lawsuit for you. LOL.

 

One of my sons was left off, too ..... Andrew or Drew or Andy.

 

Of course, Miller Eng are great people. They gave me some help with their Experimenter Kits when I was incorporating my sons' names on my layout.

I wonder why they just didn't provide individual letters so you can make any name you want?

Here you go Nicole. 5 minutes with Powerpoint.

 

 

Pete

Hi! terrific! But "Harold" is spelled with an "a" not an "e".  Please do "Harold" with an "a" and I'm in.

Thanks!

I'm kinda stumped on whether to get one or not based on this sentence in the documentation:

 

"All that is needed is to cut a small rectangular hole in the mounting surface, then drop the sign in and you are good to go. "

 

Since I only have a Christmas floor layout, on Homasote, does that mean that it can't stand "free-standing"??  I change my layout every year and will not cut a new hole each year to place it.

 

thanks - walt

Give Chris a call and ask him or whoever answers the phone at Miller Engineering. They will be happy to answer any questions or listen to suggestions. A great company that still talks and listens to it's customers. Lionel and MTH could benefit by the same business principle.

Walt,

I wondered about the "hole" thinking is was just for the connector pin to slip through.  So I wrote Chris and he answered almost immediately - as he always does.  But he said the hole was 4" by 3/4"!  Now I am stumped as to what it is for, but unfortunately at the location I was thinking of for the sign a hole of that size just will not work.

Paul and Peter:

 

I too emailed Chris and here's his reply to me:

 

Hi Walt,
I don't think it will work for your layout, it's about 1/2" thick under the surface mounting place.
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks Pete. I wasn't really commenting on the lack of my name though. Reading through the list of names I could only see 2 female names, and one of those was androgynous. But thanks again for your effort. I have downloaded the image and will be sure to use it.
