I found a pack of 3 old paper Santa Fe Super Chief stickers at an antique store last night, modified an extra billboard I had and glued one on with spray adhesive. Not a bad addition for $2.00 and 15 minutes

Ben that's a good idea always but the problem with these is that the border is metallic silver and will scan and reproduce as grey.

What about using adhesive foil?

It's a kind of flat metallic finish, not real shiny. I painted a piece of sheet styrene I used for the billboard backing with Testor's Metallic Silver and the match was perfect.

| Hey Jerry in WV, I think that is a real nice lookin' scene with that billboard and the trees and the passenger coach. Nice colors/color mix to look at as well. And good photography. Thanks. Barry

Thanks Barry - I assure you that the photography is a total fluke if it works. My layout is in the basement and lighting is minimal, so when I shoot I fire up a work light, aim it at the ceiling and hope for the best 
I'm going to post that Santa Fe set on SOTW when I get a chance, I just gotit a couple weeks ago.
