I am currently building a D-289 and I used LIFE-LIKE TRAINS 1008 GRASS MAT - LIGHT GREEN purchased at the local Lionel Dealer that is left: Evans in Sheboygan Falls, WI. It looks great, but don't try to glue it down with wood glue, use spray adhesive or it will buckle.
Joe, That's great. Please post some pictures sometime . Many of us who have built, or are building, Lionel Dealer Displays would be interested in seeing your work.

I will do that, although it is not a full perfect recreation, as I want to utilize many more items and give it my own touch. I have a small house so not a lot of room for displaying it so it was the perfect layout for me. I will do so in the next week or so when I get most of it completed. Yesterday I got the accessories rough laid out and the track and ballast laid down and fastened to the table.
