Trainz customized sign for vertical surfaces

[radionut44]

I’m looking for an asset to be able to add a sign/name onto a building, signal box, or fascia or other vertical surface and use properties to specify the wording. I found a name board and signal box name on the DLS, but I get an error sound when I try to add them in Classic Surveyor. I hope someone will share the secret handshake or method to use them.

It may be that the signal box you chose is actually a locomotive that is placed on a piece of invisible track and not a scenery-object. These are created so the user can look out the windows and watch trains pass by outside the tower.

There are lots and lots of signal boxes either on the DLS or built-in that are scenery-objects. There are some with renamable signs. You click on the "?" icon to get the properties and then type in the name in the space at the top to change the name to whatever you wish.

Others require you to place a sign as you are attempting to do. This requires a bit of patience while lining up the sign against the building. Sometimes, using layers helps here if you find placing the sign causes the tower to move as you adjust things. Lock the signal box on its own layer and then place the sign against the building.
