Cool stuff !

Btw - there is this guy tomcat-13 who has posted about 50 pages of billboard/poster images over in the Kalmbach Model Railroader forums. Might be some images worth downloading there too:

For reason I always think of Wacky Packages when I look at those old style billboard ads.



The child in me wants to use some of these on my layout when I'm ready to start structures and scenes.
