Suggestions for making your own number boards for MTH Subways | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Hi all,

I have two sets (and probably more in the future) that will need number boards.

I bought an R42 set and a bunch of the number boards fell off

30-2162-1

Additionally I bought an R32 expansion set with two of the same numbers so I wanted to replace the number boards on one car to make them different:

20-6637

I'm wondering if there is someone online that makes these or how people tend to make these themselves (if using a computer what font/size, etc.)

Thanks!

I make everything using a PC with M.S. Excel. Photo paper coated with clear gloss spray will work fine. You will have to manually type in a lower font under 6 . Press 6 or 5 then enter. Sign board letters are a 4 font, I believe. Haven't done them since 2002.

The glue is defective on early 1998 R.K. Subway number boards and they do fall off like the windows as well.
