Very well done, John.

Very nice!

Some of my billboard frames.  These are designed to be attached to walls and allow me to change the billboards.  Billboards are a mix of custom artwork, internet images, and scanned images.

I like the "Harry E" colliery sign.......my hometown of Swoyersville, PA.

Susie- also my dad’s hometown (Eugene Asklar). Have a representation of Swoyersville on my layout.

Thanks John!! Good memories.......I see the Polish Church and rectory and Swoyersville High School in the background along with the Harry E.!!!

Great work John, what size are your billboards?

I'm always cutting Billboards to fit the Lionel frames but that is very size restrictive.

Sean, they are 2x5 or 3x5, Close to Lionel size.  I set the size to width on my computer before I print them. If you make your own frames, any size is possible.

I just finished cutting out these billboards. They will go on building sides, roofs or standalone by streets. Some will have frames and some won’t.

These are all Chicago companies, products and related. This will make my Chicago Neighborhood layout seem more right.

A few of mine that I made.  The "theme" is because I had a 21 car Pittsburgh Brewing Company train and PBC engine as well.

@walt rapp I love the scaffolding that you built. I'm going to copy it for my layout.

Cut down Menard's lighted billboards with custom images.  Locomotive is a 736 Berkshire with a modified 2226W tender.

Left the Menards lighted billboard full size, but added my own custom content:
