    I hope you enjoy this video. I am aware that the first background song is a bit loud. RUclips tends to boost the background audio for some reason so I'm still trying to find the sweet spot.

      Beware of their rolling stock. I got 2 bad cars with bad couplers and they could of cared less. They acted like they were gold. I had to use twisty ties to keep them coupled then the truck wheels were sticking and nit turning. Took a huge effort to get a replacement. Just be advised.

    My at-the-time girlfriend (now my wife) bought me one of these billboards for Christmas several years ago. And because she's a whizz at graphic design, she made some custom inserts for me where she works. I thought that was kinda cool.

    They stick to the sign pretty well without the sticky part. They will slip into the upper frame a bit if you want to be able to swap them out 😁

    My brother bought one of these last year and the billboards were pretty much all vintage railroad related and for some reason the new ones are not. Look for and older one if you can find it. IMHO the new one is not as good. On the bright side made some of my own overlays by printing on a light weight bond paper and they look good.

    I might get one for myself as it looks decent next to an HO scale train. I put the billboard itself next to a Bachmann HO scale set while I was at Menards. And by the way, the Bachmann sets at Menards are Menards exclusives. I wish Menards sold HO scale rolling stock too, either under their own name or Bachmann's

    What a great addition to a train set. However, when I attempted to purchase this Billboard, I got all the way to check out and couldn't complete the purchase. Reason: Menards stated that they cannot sell to California because of California's laws. Any suggestions?

      SPRECHER BREWING TODAY
      Today Sprecher is one of the only breweries in the U.S. that uses fire brewing to create craft beer and soda with bold flavor. It is fire-brewing, plus Raw Wisconsin honey, that makes Sprecher Root Beer the best-tasting root beer in the United States. The popularity of Sprecher’s unique craft beverages has led to continued expansion of the Glendale, Wisconsin facilities. In February of 2020, Randy Sprecher retired having achieved his dreams. He wanted the company to stay in local hands, so he sold it to a small team of Milwaukee investors.
      In these capable hands, Sprecher will continue to fire-brew delicious craft sodas and beers in the Milwaukee area.
