I am looking to build a period correct mountain for the new postwar dealer layout I am building. Has one already done the research on this and have the list of current materials that can be used? I have heard that the Robert Carp book "Lionel Dealer Displays You Can Build" had a section on this subject.

The section in the Carp book on layout construction is a reprint of articles that were published in the 1991 February and April editions of Classic Toy Trains. Those are available on ebay for modest amounts. I don't think those articles are as good as Jim Barrett's two part article on constructing a modern version of the Lionel D-265 in Run 206 and run 207. Those Runs are part of the OGR digital library. I continue to enjoy reading those back issues, they are part of the digital subscription. Its a great value. I have saved you hours in trying to locate the articles, but I refuse to email copies of copyrighted material.

I wish you luck in building your display layout!
