Thanks, Ondrew. I must say that your NMRA set-up really got me wanting to take
my layouts and MOC's to the next level. Alleys, more angled buildings etc.
very inspirational.
I am 95% sure I'll be at Brickworld at this point. Don't yet know if I'll be
bringing anything.

I have been experimenting with brick built signs and still am. I don't quite
yet know if I want to go the sticker route or continue on this route. I
definitely agree that stickers would look better and also provide many more
options.
Thanks, again!
