Greetings all,
I’m new to the group and model in N, HO, O, and 1:1 scales.
Looking for ideas or articles on modeling modern pillar style billboards, there was one such topic in MR a few years back, anyone remember it?
Thanx!
Rico
Forget about scratchbuilding one! Pick up one of these beautiful Blair Line ones! They are awesome!

N-#1434…$7.95 HO-#2434…$9.95
Whoa… thanx, that’s just the ticket!
I just sent for three in HO and N.
Now all I have to do is take photos of my favorite “beverages” and paste them up.
Thanx again!
There was an article in August 1994 Model Railroader magazine about scratchbuilding a modern billboard that might be worth a look. I think it even provided information about how to track down specific adds from an annual advertising publication.

Thanx Chicirjs, I think that’s the article I was looking for. It may include sizing ads to fit into HO as well, I’ll see if I can dig it up!
Athearn RTR also has (or had) billboards. You might want to give those a look.
