You might want to post this question in Garden RR section also.

During a G gauge convention in Louisville Ky. One home layout over looking the Ohio River.

He had a superb layout half in his house and half out.

Inside was a very beautiful detailed City section. One feature of several hundred fine scenes was of Marilyn Monroe over a vent. it was like he actually took the scene out of the movie.

Thats a great idea lionelsoni. I built a tunnel for my freight train with a deck for a passenger train to run on top. It has a passenger loading section on the top deck and I was going to place figures waiting to load onto the train and I thought this would be a good spot for Marilyn. She died before I was born and have always been intrigued by her. I have the Seven year itch on dvd and that is my favorite scene. Even though I bought the train to run with my son I am going to set it up to my liking. The track is in my lower living room so I want it to look interesting for adults also. He is only 6 and mainly likes running the train. I am going to have 2 separate tracks on the layout so we can each run one at the same time.

Very good idea.

It might be interesting to cut the metal skirt off Marilyn Monroe and replace it with cloth.  Then put a tube at her feet connected to a squeeze bulb on the edge of the layout.

Great idea-if the scene is anywhere near the track , rig it to blow as a train goes by-(isn't the real thing a subway vent?)

I have seen one, don't recall where, or by whom, but I know that they exist.

Has anyone ever found a figurine of Marilyn Monroe from the movie " The Seven Year Itch" where she is walking along the sidewalk and the subway train goes by and blows her skirt up? I am planning my layout and would like to have this scene somewhere in it. Thanks.
