Can anyone point me to a source for storefront window decals? I’m looking for signs that you would find in an average downtown during transition era or later. I’m modeling in HO.

Woodland Scenics used to have a variety of dry transfers that were suitable for store windows. Check the Walthers website to see if they are still available. I’ve usd some of them in the past.
I make my own decals for that sort of thing. This Scottish restaurant illustrates several different ways to use your computer and printer:
I made decals for both the large “House of Haggis” signs on the first floor and “Katie’s School of Dance” on the second. I just did this in MS Word and printed them on decal paper.
The details inside were also printed on the computer. The floor and walls were printed on card stock, and the plaid tablecloths were printed on regular paper. The plaid inserts in the upper windows on the first story were also on plain paper. The sign over the door is my own family crest, reduced in size and printed on card stock once again.
Woodland Scenics has some nice ones.(as mentioned) Instead of using decals, I download what I want and print it out on inkjet transparency sheets. Then cut those out and use them for windows.
I’ve used this same technique to make stained glass windows - works great!

City Classics has a number of window signs and other window treatments. Some are designed for use with their 5-story buildings, I have used them. They can be cut down to fit other windows.
Miniatronics has a number of ‘Neon-like’ signs. They are a window with a decal sign that a light illiminates from above. Some are multicolor and include a flasher unit.
DUH! [D)] Why didn’t I ever think of that? Brilliant! [bow]
Oh, I forgot. I’m an idiot.
