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

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.

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

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
