Reply to "Menards O-Scale Backlit Billboard"

Actually, we see the digital billboards all over the place now, I see them on every major highway lately. 

That would be a really cool accessory, a small LCD screen with changing pictures.  Perhaps find one of the many digital picture frames that don't have a large bezel, they'd be perfect!

Lionel has made a very similar accessory, GRJ. There was a Visionline 0-27 flat car in 2009 with a removable operating lcd digital billboard. The billboard could either stay on the flat car or removed for placement anywhere on a layout. It's always a conversation piece with visitors. It uses a micro so card to either play video or a slideshow with a variety of transitional effects. I bought two of them for either $80 or $90 each when Nicholas Smith had them on clearance a few years ago. Haven't seen them often in the secondary market but if it's something you really want, hopefully persistance will pay off for you.

Here's a picture of it. I'll try in a while to post a link with a complete description.Screenshot_20200115_155800
