We still have my dad's original D-63 display. We've intended to get it restored but just haven't gotten around to it. We do have the working freeway, buildings, and backdrop. The original tunnel is gone though but that shouldn't be that hard to recreate. Our layout was in the window of Younkers department store in downtown Des Moines for Christmas 1962. My grandfather bought it and had it delivered to their house right around New Years. It was in the basement until 1977 when the house was sold. The layout was torn apart and shipped to Houston where the wooden parts sat in an un-air conditioned garage attic until about 4 years ago when I learned what we had and decided to get everything together again for a restoration. Every other part including the trains, buildings, and transformer were in boxes in the house and have all been restored to working condition. We should be able to get it back to nearly it's original state. Roger Carp helped me out a bit with some info on it and I found a running one in New York. When I went to York a few years ago I drove up to see it and take pictures so we can get everything accurate.
That’s a great story, Fred.
The D-63 was unique because of the so-called moving highway.
Hoping you get it restored one day and post pictures here!
