Can someone tell me what special edition this is.

It appears that it may have been built by these folks...

Folks from trainworx share their work with us here often. It's a premium grade custom layout company.

Is there a secondary market for this unit. It needs a new home.

That looks more, to me, like an old dealer display unit.  Lionel made many of these in different predetermined layouts that were then sold to dealers to display that year's options.  There are some who collect and or restore them but I would believe it's a limited market.

I believe it is a TrainWorx product duplicating a 5x9 Super O Lionel display layout.

I think it is the D 264

I will try to find a good link.....

Thank you Peter. Now I just need to find a way to find an interested party to give it a new home. Someone who will appreciate the beautiful craftsmanship.

"...post photos and your asking price on the WTB (Want To Buy) portion of the forum."...?

@Traindame Dorcie is the display layout in the OP one of your wonderful projects?

Suggesting that you set it up.....assuming 4 leg panels + two layout halves...and post photos and your asking price on the WTB (Want To Buy) portion of the forum.

Probably a local pick-up item....hard to imagine shipping something like this....at today's shipping prices!

Just a suggestion.

I would think it would sell faster on the For Sale forum.

There are other custom builders out there, too, such as Randy Weber, who have done Lionel display reproductions, and this might have made by one of those builders as well. If the OP pulls the layout out of the attic and examines it, it's very possible the builder's name will be on it somewhere.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I finally had help this morning assembling the unit. I could not do it myself. Now I'll try to find the for sale section of want to buy. Value?

Hello Deanoscale,

Out of curiosity what are of the country are you from as those who may be interested need to know if you are "local" to them.

I'd be interested but I have no idea what you are thinking about an asking price.

You are welcome to email me privately.  My email address is listed in my profile.

Yes, sorry. Bourne Massachusetts (Cape Cod)
