Complete Kit for Two Billboards

• Six lampshades (non-illuminated) for realistic lighting details
• Authentic chain-link fencing material to protect the billboard base

Era-Specific Advertising Style

Telephone pole style billboards were a unique and economical form of roadside advertising that utilized repurposed or purpose-built telephone poles as support structures. These distinctive billboards were a common sight along American highways and rail lines from the 1940s through the 1960s, making them perfect for mid-century layouts.

Versatile Scenic Applications

These billboard structures are perfect for:

• Roadside advertising along highways and main streets
• Trackside billboards visible from passing trains
• Rural and urban commercial districts
• Industrial areas and warehouse districts
• Period-appropriate scenery for 1940s-1960s era layouts

Prototypical Realism

The inclusion of chain-link fencing and lampshades adds authentic detail to your billboard displays. These features were common on real billboards to prevent vandalism and provide nighttime illumination, adding operational realism to your N Scale layout.
