Anyone know of any large signs with editable text for planning in Surveyor

[Smileyman]

Just a quick one.

I'm at the stage where I need to plan out my route in regards to what extra industries and towns I need to place and where I want to put them, and I'd really like to do it in Surveyor rather than on paper.

So what I'm looking for, as the title suggests, is a large sign with editable text that I can place as big labels on the route as I plan things out.
I have the large push-pins, but they're too big and the text is on the top.
Ideally, I would like something sort of billboard size, or motorway sign size, but with very large text.

I could knock one up easily enough, and will if I have to, but I like to see if something is already out there before I spend time on something.
I've had a quick look on the DLS, but with so many items, and the chance that what I'm looking for isn't named the same way I search for it, I thought I'd see if anyone uses anything like this already.

I made several scripted road signs that could possible be helpful,
Autobahn sign 10 up to 33 from <kuid2:97008:29221:1> up to <kuid2:97008:29243:1>

Check out Warehouse Sign on the DLS

I think the late Ish6 made a big set of editable signs with quite a range of sizes.

I regularly use VR Station Sign Timber by @S301 on the DLS as surveyor markers. There are 19 of them the largest being 14L (free standing) and 14c (for attachment to walls, etc). I place them in their own route layer so they can be easily hidden or revealed when needed and the whole lot deleted when no longer required.

Thanks Willem, Big B and Dino.
I've downloaded a bunch of them from your suggestions, and will try them out this afternoon.

Ah yes, Ish.
Having been away from the scene for a few years and only came back about a month ago, I stumbled upon the thread that talked about Ish's passing.
Very sad.

In the very early days of Trainz, around 2003 onwards, I talked to Ish many times.
He was such a nice guy.
Always had nice things to say about StopGap, always polite, positive and optimistic.
A real pleasure to talk to him.
And when you think that he apparently struggled with his health all this time, and yet never let it make him bitter or angry.
I don't ever recall a time when he wasn't calm and helpful on these forums.
A true gent.

Myself, Ish and Peter5 had many conversations on these forums about 3D modelling, scripting and scenarios.
Good times.
(Whatever happened to Peter5?)

Thanks for the info guys.
Have a good one!

Martin (martinvk) also made these. These are useful for marking out a route.

<kuid2:70337:23007:15> Push pin black
<kuid2:70337:23006:15> Push pin yellow
<kuid2:70337:23014:15> Push pin blue
<kuid2:70337:23008:15> Push pin green
<kuid2:70337:23009:15> Push pin red

Chris Mountain (Itareus) made some nice notes you can place between tracks. These are also useful for EITs.

I use those C+ SO note track objects a lot, great for colour-coding different underground lines.
