Well, not exactly, but Tyco's Billboard series was widely imitated by a lot of manufacturers.
The ABA is Athearn, so I bumped the post here, for purities' sake. Note that I went to no small trouble
and expense to power ALL the units in the ABA lashup; it took that much power and tractive effort to pull this creation. Mostly Tyco Bill Boards, but a few Life Likes, like the Dorrito car, were too cool to leave out.
The boys at the club complained about my Tycomania a lot, even going so far as to talking about
creating a bylaw to only allow metal wheels. They shut up after I secured a $3000 grant from the
Union Pacific Foundation.

Money talks and bull**** walks!

I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"

| Nothing wrong with the occasional novelty train running through a well detailed layout. Those are my favourite flavour of Athearn F7s! Are they rubber banders?
