I recently picked up a #790 train-o-rama display at a local flea market.It is in relatively good condition but is missing several of the scenery pieces such as the mine and several tree sections.Does anyone know if the #790 or any of it's pieces were ever made as reproductions.I have seen cardboard displays from the Farm set have been were reproduced but am not aware of the #790 being duped.If not does anyone have a train-o-rama display they would be willing to make copies of the original sections I need and I could mount to cardboard tabs.Any info is much appreciated....

I don't think anybody has remade any of these panels for individual sales. I remember someone remaking the whole set years ago. Most people who are missing or damaged pieces look on eBay for partial sets.

Bob Board made a reproduction of the complete Train-o-Rama set, but it wasn't cheap. One could find complete originals for less. Keeping an eye on the on-line auction sites (or York) will eventually yield the pieces required.

Go to ebay and search for trainaorama. There's one for sale right now. 19 bids and 1 day and 23 hours left. It's up to alomost $200 now.
Here's the link, so no one has to search for it.
I had one corner section since I was a kid that someone gave me. About 3 years ago I acquired two rather beat partial sets with which I managed to complete it. Then last year I found a complete one in original box at an antique shop. Price...$45.
