Wearing a beret, of any type, is not going to attract any person (or thing) that I want to be associated with.

Definitely yellow. What kinda building is it supposted to be?
I "really" need to dig all my N guage stuff out an make a layout for it.

Sort of like spattering yourself while washing your hands, you can tell people they're just water, but they tend not to believe you. No way. If I drip glue, it'll either land on the floor (in which case I'll scatter sawdust for it to land on); or, it'll be gluing on waed paper, or so it'll drip on sawdust, never on the bench. Whatever way, I don't lay in the glue. It always gets wiped on.
On those rare instances I splash a bit of water on my pants while washing my hands, I've got that coverd. I just splash water all over the front of my pants and shirt. Anyone asks, I turned the water on too far, and it squirted, very believable, no prob. All you've gotta do is think things thru.

It's a truck repair shop housed in one of those metal buildings. Sometimes they take in truck cab and trailer, other times they take in just the cab or trailer.

Aha. Could see the truck cab before, but thought it might be supposed to be a delivery truck. BIG letters stating, TRUCK REPAIR, would be good. There's some similar buildngs, except for slight color differences, around here. One heating and air place has it painted on the sides of the building. The one that's housed various businesses, includng a truck repair, has a sign out front (readable from two sides), that changes every time the busines changes - put a railroad track alongside and it could almost be your building scaled up.. You probably already know, there's loads of stuff on model railroading on-line.

That's probably a good idea. I'll have to see about getting some decals or try transfers and put a name on the side.
There's a saying among model railroaders: "A prototype for everything." It's still fun to learn that your scratch built building has a real presense somewhere. :-)

There's links on-line, somewhere, on makng your own , custom, decals. If you're wanting decals, instead of painting the leters on. I don't do anything with decals, so I dont have the links saved. Anythng along those lines I print out, cut out, ad glue down. Hmm, now I think on that, that could be a better way if you want to make signs, or billboards. I do have some links saved for sign-making, with different lettering styles and all. If you're interestd in maybe going that way, let me know and I can give you ssome links. Hmm, I just came up with som good thoughts for my railroad layout, when, if, it gets worked on. Hehee Hmm, that also starts the germ of an idea for some other things too. My goss, I's a geenyus. LMAO

A couple of people have mentioned that they don't care for the "short" open time of TBIII. There is a TB Extended, and a TBII extended. My brain is about "set" but I seem to remember reading somewhere about a TBIII extended. I did a quick (very quick!) Google search and could not find TBIII Extend, but that brings to what's left of my mind -

The weather is nice... time to open my box of LGB. Better not. I'm moving my shop first. I love LGB trains. I grew up with a lot of Marklin, but sold it to get myself a new Triumph GT-6. Then MUCH later, I bought some LGB for my kids..(bwhahahahahah *diabolical laughter*)
Gee, that's an original excuse. :P

I've read a few of those articles... At the moment it's more than I want to get in to. If I simply get a dry transfer lettering sheet from the LHS (local hobby shop) I can have the building lettered in a few minutes.
I'm not going for a sign, as there's no space for it. At one time, I had something above the garage door, though.

Sure, plenty of buildings, specially metal, with an actual sign on the side of the building, rather than a pained sign. But, your building, your call.
For some reason I'm reminded of one of the model shows, where a guy had a small TV camera in his locomotive, and the view showing on a TV. Very neat, very realistic view too, looked like a video from a real train; too bad it was B&W.

Either way might work well for a modern building. I've seen both styles...
I've seen them at shows. They're pretty neat things, but good color would be important... and operating at frequencies other than 2.4 gHz. (More 2.4 gHz noise, the harder it is to get a good WiFi signal at a distance.)

A model cow on the tracks looked very realistc. LMAO The train operator had a sick sense of humor.
