Busy busy busy!! Cold weather means more train timefilling up new building
Will be more available and be on here more
Wow, Jagrick, love these! Some are pristine. Are some of them reproductions? I dabbled in reproducing dealer displays in the 90s, including a D-133 (like the one you have). Also fancy train cabinets.
Right now I am making an o gauge pre-war table layout, very loosely based on the one in Tim Holland's book. Lionel catalogued a lot of "layouts" and "scenic railways" but I don't know how many were actually produced.

It's going to be a beauty. What are the tunnel portals? Homemade tin? My layout has paired bridges as well- the low ones. I'll dig out a photo.

They are original lionel tunnel portals offof a pair of original tunnels (original display used these. Project got sidetracked as was out of space!! But moved all if my postwar into a separate building and now have a prewar floor in my garage (upper level).
Looking into getting a cnc router to reproduce some more dealer display items
I’ve wanted to create this layout ever since I saw one at the TCA museum. What are the dimensions of the table? How will you fashion the upper level bridge supports? Thanks for sharing your progress!
Here are a few pics of the TCA layout I took many years ago:
