Here's my AOTW. A Matchbox Lyon's Maid ice cream van made between 1963 and 1968.

A pair of old AHM lighted billboards. Not really very cool, I had a pair of these on my 70s layout.. So I had to replace them...

I think they're very cool, Walt. The old wood frame billboards that were 5 feet off the ground instead of the modern steel monstrosities that are 50 feet off the ground. From a time when things were more intimate and accessible. And motorcycle cops could hide behind them!
Ain't nothin' wrong with a girl's hair blowin' in the wind neither!

Doesn't Model Power now make similar billboards? Seems they "borrowed" quite a few things from AHM after that company went defunct.
Here's an accessory I got for my new train layout...
Life-Like SceneMaster operating semaphore! I think they first began offering this in the mid-1980s; mine was in the 1991 packaging style. It does light up, but you have to move the banner part manually. Still looks nice!
