Parts question.

[Geno]

Hi guys, do any of you know of a good source for 1/25, 1/24, G scale signage? I'm adding an island and gas pumps to my garage diorama and want to add a Texaco street corner sign. Or is this something I'll need to scratch build? Maybe one of these two. Thanks in advance.

Scratch-building the frame should be very straightforward.

Go to a model railroad shop and look for G scale items. They are around 1:22.5... and I find them expensive. You could print your own.

Geno, MRC Offered their "Joe's Power Plus" Station Kit with Texaco Markings Once.

The Texaco version of the MRC gas station is hard to find now.  I had one when it was issued, but sold it later when my brother turned up three partial Buddy L Texaco stations.  The sign(s) in that MRC kit aren't too great.  

This was more than ten years ago, but I turned up enough loose items on eBay to complete the three Buddy L stations (except the sheet metal bases, which were often thrown away).  Separate Texaco signs still turn up on occasion, that might be an option.

I'm surprised someone hasn't stepped up for that one, though I'll still say that, as a Texaco station, it isn't that good.  The sign is wrong, and the station itself is one bay.  I can't remember ever seeing an actual Texaco station with one bay, most had two.  I absolutely would not buy that kit for the sign.

Instead, I'd buy the decal pictured earlier and scratch the sign to fit the decal.  Besides the decal sheet pictured, Round 2 once made a separate decal sheet with Texaco stuff on it.

Here's a 6X8 inch sheet of self-adhesive stickers too...

Thanks a million guys, for your input. I believe I'll get the decals and scratch build the sign. That sounds like my best bet.💯😊

Microscale.com

has some nice vintage gas station decals in HO, N, and O scale. Some work well as car decals.

No Texaco, sadly.
