My prewar Lionel display layout

sweet

Really nice !

This kind of brings back lots of memories, the pre-war look, the standard gauge accessories, mixed with O gauge accessories is just amazing. Your train table is really cool, and I love the street lights, lighted station platforms, snowy look, signals, Wow. Thanks for posting. Happy Railroading Everyone

Looks really nice Will. The video is great even the room looks period.  Steam heat radiators !

.

Just two words, "wunnerful, wunnerful".

Okay, not actually made by Lionel, but as I imagine they would have done Christmas with one of their table layouts. The video is a bit late for Christmas (but earlier than last year!!)

This is the third year for the layout and it is close to complete- just missing some balustrades around the perimeter.  And some more citizens. The addition of the two o76 block signals may be the final accessories. The scenic plots are true to the originals, but winterized. The making of the trees was featured in OGR Run 315.

I've had a lot of fun arranging the elements just so, and have fashioned a few original items that I think go with the period. Besides the balustrades, a deco platform for the whistle station, a retaining wall and a tree guard made with radiator grill material ( Thanks for the idea @JohnnieWalker )

That’s a fantastic looking layout Will ! And thanks for the shoutout 👍.  It’s nice to see an actual winter layout complete with snow on the roads and bare trees . I’ve been doing some experimental snow covered trees this winter for an N gauge layout that goes under the Christmas tree. Yes , you read it right , N gauge ! The standard gauge and O gauge never got out of storage this year .  So thanks for posting your layout. Cheers .

Very cool!  I love it

VERY NICE and captures the essence of the prewar era! :-)
