I know many people have built replicas of Lionel Postwar dealer displays. Has anyone built replicas of Lionel Prewar Displays? If so lets see them

I've been looking through some of the old pre-war catalogs... there were a few layout packages offered that seem easy enough to replicate.
Anybody received there "Best Layouts" mag in the mail yet ?
I paid in the publisher in October and have see nothing yet.
Is media mail that slow to California ?

I received mine in October about a week before York. But I had preordered it many months ago.
Love these displays, envy your space.
I built this replica of the 1923 Lionel display for a museum, except for the backdrop. Although the trains weren't from that era, I repowered the #9 with a replacement Williams tinplate motor (dual can motors) so that it would run for a full week at a constant voltage setting.

Not a replica per se, more of a tribute I built a few years back:
I use it mostly to operate my clockwork trains.
Nice touches on replicating structures!
