FAQs
What scale are the Tiny Signs N79 Trackside Notices?
The notices are designed for N Gauge, with a scale of 1:160. For UK models, they are compatible with the 1:148 scale.
Are these suitable for children?
No, these items are intended for modelling use and are not toys. They contain small parts and are not suitable for children.
How do I attach the notices to my layout?
You can attach them using standard model glues like PVA or cyanoacrylate. Apply a small amount of glue to the back of the notice or the target location.
Can I paint these notices?
While they are pre-printed with details, you can paint them using acrylic model paints if you wish to customize or enhance their appearance further. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.
What types of signs are included?
The pack contains various trackside notices typically found on model railways, such as speed restrictions, signal warnings, and level crossing signs, adding realistic operational detail.
How durable are the notices?
They are made from durable materials suitable for static model display. However, they require careful handling to avoid damage, especially during application.
Troubleshooting
Notices are difficult to pick up and place.
Use fine-tipped tweezers or a fine-tipped hobby knife to gently lift and position the notices. A small piece of sticky tack on a tool can also help.
Glue is visible or excess.
Apply glue sparingly to the back of the notice or the desired surface. If excess glue is visible, allow it to dry and carefully trim with a hobby knife, or try to gently wick away excess with a fine brush before it fully cures.
Notices do not adhere well.
Ensure the surface where the notice is being applied is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Apply a fresh, small amount of appropriate model glue.
