Reply to "Show us your Standard Gauge size BILLBOARDS!!!"

Carey,

American Flyer did make some Standard Gauge sized billboards back in the day (c. late 1920s and/or early 1930s) , but they are extremely rare and I have only seen them in a TCA Quarterly article. I believe they simply used the catalog cover artwork and possibly the Standard Gauge box end labels.

I know the American Flyer O gauge billboards from c. 1923 used the end labels from the boxes of the era. I think I pointed this one out on the layout, when you visited.

The billboard and motorcycles below are some of the few modern MTH items on my layout. The reason for them, is that I had a Road King Classic when I bought the billboard and I had a blue Road King Classic, which is the color of the one that is in the set of motorcycles. I couldn't resist.

Your billboards look nice!
