Please note that the specifications for static monitor ads have changed. We are using a new

design your own ad, or have an ad designed for you, please follow the new specifications
carefully.

you would prefer to only run a static monitor ad, the cost is $100.
Monitor ads must meet the following specs:
1920 pixels wide x 1080 pixels high
three-color (RGB)
300 ppi resolution
formats: PDF, JPEG
Video Ads
New this year - video ads - up to 30 seconds in length - can be run during the 2025 Railroad Hobby
Show. The cost for a video ad is $100.
Video ads must meet the following specs:
1920 pixels wide x 1080 pixels high

Be aware that audio is either muted or too low to be clearly heard above the crowd noise. Incorporat-
ing closed captions should be considered as an alternative to audio with video ads.
