Marx Store Displays

Another thread discusses Lionel store displays, but as a kid I remember Marx store displays, and have heard of people,

although I do not now remember who, who had them.  I found in a flea market some years ago a store display for Marx,

but not for trains, but for a later version of a Marx Civil War playset sold by Sears.  I was told the display had come out of

the nearby city's closed Sears store.   It featured the various soldiers and revetments, cannon, etc., stapled to a crudely

painted board, with roads and fields.  It looked like it had been made by the stock boy in the back of the store. I was interested in Marx western town and ranch sets, but not, particularly, in the Civil War set, so I sold it on eBay, and managed to creatively pack it, not easy, and ship it DLH to the buyer, with figures standing up, stapled in place.  It was on a board something like 2X3 feet.  But, I wonder....does anybody on here have an original Marx train store display layout?
