About 2 years ago, I decided to build a small 4’ x 4’ Lionel 027 layout for my first train set that I received for Christmas in 1956. So I made the layout similar to the type of little layouts people made back then, and I run my Xmas train, a Lionel 1615 0-4-0 switcher and work train, and sometimes other trains of that time on this little layout. I decided to add a couple of billboards, but I didn’t want to use the printed billboards that I got with my train set in 1956. Instead, I got the idea to photograph the covers of my two 1956 Lionel catalogs, crop the photos to fit, and make two Lionel billboards. These are my billboards.
