Lionel accessory display

If it wasn't for Lionel's fascinating operating accessories,I doubt I would be a model railroad fan.

I saw a picture of a dealer display from the 50's, D20 featuring various working accessories and now I am going to build one for some of my current issue items.(I have nothing that's older than 10 years old 

Do you have a display that's separate from  your layout, if so I would like to see pictures of them to get ideas.

Very nice display. How deep are those shelves?

I also really enjoy the postwar accessories.  Below are some images that I've saved over time to help get the creative juices flowing.  I wish I could give credit to the builder/owner, but I'm not sure who that would be.

Thumb through the following topic thread, it has a lot of dealer display pictures and information: https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/...stwar-layouts?page=1

I suggest following forum member JAGRICK, he seems to restore and recreate a lot of postwar dealer displays - https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/member/jagrick

Take a look at Susan Deat's website - her layout is focused on the operating accessories: http://www.slsprr.net/default.htm
