Reproducing the D187 Ferris Wheel

[rlyonsdvm]

A few years ago, someone was offerin or going to offer a repro of the Ferris wheel display---did they ever make it?

Guess no answers huh?? I heard from another fellow that they didn't---so I just finished my prototype for this display and then made a second. On ebay now and has some interest. Definitely a small group but it is a neat display

Saw your eBay auction. That's an interesting display. I didn't know what you were writing about until I saw the auction picture.

These are two photos of my prototype D187 display. Works as original in same gray paint. Almost mesmerizing to spin the cars around, simple yet complex piece.

Congratulations on selling your display on eBay!

Working on restoring a Lionel D40 semaphore display. Plan to reproduce one type of the display to be a wall mounted set of shelves!
