Locomotive Railroad Name Sign | Personalized Metal Train Sign
Locomotive Railroad Name Sign | Personalized Metal Train Sign
This personalized railroad name sign is laser cut from 16 gauge steel and powder coated in the USA. A classic streamlined diesel locomotive charges out of a double ring, nose first, and your words run around the ring, for example JOHN'S and RAILROAD. It looks like the engine is coming straight off the wall.
- His railroad, his name. Type the text in the customizer and watch the live preview update before you order.
- Built to last. 16 gauge steel, powder coated, made in the USA. Indoor or outdoor, it will not rust or fade.
- Hangs in minutes. No tools and no drilling into the sign. The mounting holes are cut into the ring.
- Made for one railroader only. Every sign is cut to order with his words, so it can never be a duplicate gift.

Who This Train Sign Is For
Buying it for him?
Your dad with the layout in the basement, your husband who knows every engine by number, the retired railroader. Give his railroad a name on the wall above the tracks. Buyers of our signs tell us two things: the steel is heavier than they expected, and the man who got it loved it.
Buying it for yourself?
Hang it above the layout, in the train room, the workshop or the den with the railroad prints.
Prefer a steam engine? See the steam locomotive name sign. Want a train on your house number? See the steam train address sign.
Railroad Sign FAQ
What goes on the sign?
Two lines around the ring, for example JOHN'S and RAILROAD, or a layout name and a year. The locomotive is part of the design.
Is the engine a steam or diesel locomotive?
A streamlined diesel with the classic rounded nose of the golden age of rail. For a steam engine, see the steam locomotive name sign.
How many letters fit?
Each line holds up to 20 characters. The live preview shows exactly how the text sits on the curve, so check it before you order, because we cut exactly what you approve.
How do I hang it?
The mounting holes are cut into the ring, so it hangs on screws in wood or drywall. No drilling into the sign and no special tools.
Is it a good gift for a model train fan?
Yes. Every layout deserves a name, and this one carries his, so it cannot be something he already owns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can it hold up outside?

A: We recommend 24" for most walls and entries. Go 30"–36" for a porch, siding or a large wall.
Q: Can I customize the name or text?

Q: Will the finish fade over time?
