I have made over the past few days a maintenance  depot, thia will attach to my base board of my layout.

the reason I am making separate modules is, I was sick of bending over and crouching all at the same time in the loft. So most of the layout will be done in the shed the moved to the loft.
Question 1
I will have a shed, fuel stage and other sidings. I need some signs to hang around the depot. The era is end of steam up to present day.  So I will need signs for the buildings, warning signs and train\loco speed signs etc. etc. can anyone point me in the right direction? Free if possible or borrowed on a permanent basis from a web site.
Question 2
I want concrete areas for the shed and fuel depot. I have read the posts about Polly filler and plaster but, I have a tub of dark grey grout used for the gaps in tiles. Can I use this as the concrete?

Cheers all in advance

The grout in reality would scale wise would be far better than any other stuff like plaster or sand based the only thing to watch is cracking if you lay it on to thick.
