Would anyone be willing to create some billboards from the 1920's? I don't really care which althought one Willys Overland advertisement would be cool :D

Any dimensions? Also how are we to guess what the B&W ads looked like in color?

Guessing the color is fairly easy, I'm not sure on dimentions because every billboard was different unlike to-day's billboards which are a standardized size and shape.

They were all hand lettered by skilled artisans (except for the poster sheets).
I'll post a bunch that were offered in the early days of Rail Simulator later
When I get home from work. *!lol!*

This is more of what I meant when I wanted information.

A picture may have a thousand words, but you cannot model a thousand words without context.

I put these all over USA routes I run along with junk scrap and other items. Most of the RW route these days have sterile
look to them. Railroad right of ways are far from clean and spotless as most route creators like to model unfortunatly.
One billboard is from Mafia2, a stunning eye candy of a game.
