About this Mod

Big Station Signs

Vanilla sign text too small? Unicode signs or banner letters too ugly? This mod adds big versions of the vanilla signs, as well as Big Station Signs inspired by the UK rail network. They display larger text, and have a simple editor to add colour and formatting. I made this with create mod trains in mind, but you don't need that mod for this mod to function.

Inspired by Big Signs and Click Signs
