Hi, I have two different display bases (the shorter one is K-Line - not sure where I got the long one) whose tops have left me.
Any ideas as to who has the ability to craft two new plexiglass covers for these pieces? Thank you.

Paul, there’s a gentleman at York that makes case covers out of glass. He made one for me and it was great. Hopefully someone here will respond with the contact info. I’ll look thru my files also.
Hi Rod, I remember seeing that table at York. Hopefully some one can reply with his name or company.
Thank you Rod,
Paul

2 are from the Lionel JC Penney L&HR Alco C-420 . Plexiglas with with wood base and track section with black ties. Track looks like Gargraves. 17in.L x 4in.W x 6in.H. Both never used. 1 is still wrapped in plastic wrap from factory.

Hi Walter, thank you for the post - but I'm looking for the tops to my already in house bases
Paul
Try contacting BallQube at info@ballqube.com - they may be able to help or point you in the right direction.
Paul,

They don't list the tops for separate sale but they certainly have the ability to manufacture them as your question above inquired about.

Richie and Stu - many thanks for the leads.

Paul, try a local glass shop. They may do plastic. I had a custom piece of glass cut for a picture frame and it wasn't too expensive at all.
Hi Joe - thanks. Hope things are working well for you in NC. I forget what city you landed in down there?
Have you found a local club yet?
Paul
Railrunnin, This is the person that you want to contact. Dave's bases & cases 989-792-1652, he's the guy in the red hall at York that sells glass cases. I have bought several from him. Nice guy, and he does great work.
Thanks Eddie G. That’s the one.
Paul, we are in Durham. There is a club in Raleigh, Nuese River Valley Model Railroader Club.
Been there a few times and also to their shows but the coronavirus has put the kabosh on everything.
I keep in contact with the NJ club.
How about you?
Eddie G - Thanks so very much
Joe - glad NC is treating you well. No club action here in Rhode Island - but the first piece of plywood for the new layout is in the basement!
Take care Joe
Paul
Yep, we kept Joe on the club's email listing since he was one of the 4 founding members of OCSMR from 1987 when it was formed. We get invites to move to Durham, NC from him all the time. You sure you want me as your neighbor?
