Hello Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) and Electro-Motive (EMD) enthusiasts, collectors, and Lionel 3-rail, O-scale operators . . . >>>> N E W I T E M J u n e 2 0 0 9 For your consideration - this brand new Illuminated Billboard for your O-gauge, or American Flyer S-gauge layout, advertising General Motors new diesel power, featuring the Baltimore & Ohio's "Capitol Limited". (Please see photos loading below.) 's a neat accessory for your pike – an Illuminated Billboard depicting a popular ad from 1949 …"Better Trains follow General Motors Locomotives" shows a new EMD Electro-Motive E-unit set powering the Baltimore & Ohio's "Capitol Limited". The inset shows travelers relaxing aboard the observation car on this all-Pullman B&O streamliner, which operated between Chicago and Washington DC. The billboard comes fully wired with a blinking 14 volt #258 bulb. You can power this from the accessory terminals of your transformer or a battery eliminator. This billboard looks great even without the illumination…on your layout, desk, or in the display cabinet alongside your favorite Lionel EMD diesel power or C&EI equipment. These billboards now come with an internal reflector installed to distribute the light over the entire image. I'm also including an 18v #1447 bulb, in case you prefer a constant-on illumination. This item was custom-designed and manufactured for use with Lionel Trains. An optional Super Structure Kit is listed separately for these billboards. (See photo, lower right.)

Construction is injection molded plastic with detailed lattice work along the bottom. Sign is backlit…light comes from behind the image.
