it funny that you mention signs
I am very determined when I find a rail group (actual, museum, hobby, or model) to find them. It is amazing how many web sites lack a good map. I hate the linked type, because without "country directions" (left at the big blue indian, right at the 2nd light, etc) your chance of success degrades rapidly. then add in a the lack of signs I am truly lost. museums need both big, honkin' in your face locomotive billboards off the interstates & MORE importantly signs about 2' X 3' with a dark train silouette on a brown backgound with an arrow. (you know, kinda like "dis way to trains, dummy") as many as possible! (I am not very observant when talkin'...lol) TVRR uses these all around their place in. I would bet that in most locations, after a quick visit with the local road and hiway depts, the museum could get permission to make and deploy signs themselves. A local farmer with hiway frontage maybe will give you the private property access in trade for keeping the weeds wacked.

You bring up a good point. Our museum HAS signs in town, but could probably use more, and perhaps better ones. Might be interesting if we could post some photos of signs here of what other museums are doing. Perhaps someone could start a separate thread on the subject.
