Lionel Old St. Nick Operating Billboard #6-82002
Yesterday, I posted a photo of an operating log dump car that I picked up for a Christmas present this year and mentioned that I scored a few operating accessories for the boys. Above, you see one of those accessories in the Old St. Nick Operating Billboard. This is the first time I've bought an operating billboard from Lionel but I know the basics: there are two scenes that alternate in between by the rotating of the slats on the billboard. The official product listing on Lionel.com show the two scenes and you can see them on the back of the box below. For each of the boys that I've bought one of these for, I've been buying them boxcars/operating cars and/or track pieces/bridges/switches every year since they were born, so I figure they have enough rolling stock.
