Impressive displays, as are the Prime Movers on your other post.
Wasn't even aware of these displays until your post, so many thanks.
I never had any of the King Size or Major Pack range as a child, perhaps too expensive for my parents.
Don't even recall going to a toy shop to look at models. The few I did have came as birthday/Christmas presents.
Enjoy collecting them now and seeing your great photos just makes me want to unbox what I have and have a push around the table.

Here you can see photos for the Major Pack display for the same year (1963)

One of these two now sold on Ebay:
See:

I now think the display is from late 1962 (not 1963) and this one is from 1963:
(auctioned by Graham Hamilton (Rockerton Toys) in may 2012)
A fully populated 1968 Kingsize display from the same collection as the sold late 1962 Kingsize display was also sold on Ebay:
