March of Dimes was very important in the late 40s and 50s, raising funds to find a cure for polio

Show me another billboard

More large industries?  Does this count? This was the largest industry from my last layout. This was printed and glued to cardstock. I miss Bob the Foreman and all the crates of apples that were attached to it.  Unfortunately, I do not currently have a layout, but I wanted to play the game...

 

 

How about a billboard?  Bonus points for a building WITH a billboard ontop.

More big industries, please.

Here's Westinghouse Canada's Air Brake factory on the mostly barren upper level of my layout - there were several Westinghouse factories in my hometown of Hamilton, Ontario, including a WABCO site...

Please show me a Baldwin locomotive - steam or diesel.

Well, according Bachmann, my five Grand Valley Consolidations are all products of Baldwin, although I have a few more that will eventually represent MLW, CLC, and/or CCF and ALCo.

Here's the 24, just out of the paint shop...

The  'Lakeshore Limited' passes the grade level crossing at the west end of the Black River Valley layout.

More ALCOs of any stripe, please.
