My O scale model train layout represents the section of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad between McKees Rocks and Youngstown.
I like Plasticville but the main town on my layout is not Plasticville but is Aliquippa, PA - my hometown. And in Aliquippa, we had a Dairy Queen.
I used OpenSCAD to create a program the makes a new sign for my layout.
Fonts were a problem especially for the "Dairy Queen" font. I found that the town name was pretty close to "Arial" but the original Frosty Bar sign did not match any font that I had available or any font that I could find. I ended up choosing the font "Pump Demi Bold LET". I adjusted the "spacing" parameter to try to match the original sign as well as I could. (Note: think about looking on Google Fonts.)
(Update 22 Oct 2021 - I have a version 2 of this sign which uses a different method to model the correct Dairy Queen font (https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/82488-dairy-queen-sign-for-plasticville-frosty-bar-v2)
