Wow! Having spent 10 years in the radio business, and having co-owned a used record/CD store for a short time, this is an awesome thread! Pop music is such a cool way to establish a time period! Thought I was the only freak that would have a record store or a radio station on my layout...that is, when I get far enough along to work on the structures. Actually I plan on having more than one radio station. I model in HO, but for the Lionel folks, I have one of their radio station towers that actually has a radio in it so you can listen to your favorite local station. <br /> <br />And I offer this from the complete and total geek world where I reside...I also plan on having a rock concert on my layout. Have not seen this done before, perhaps it has been done. I want to have KISS onstage, surely a huge lighted KISS sign can be made out of Miniatronics items. And of course smoke generators could be placed on the side of the stage. Then I would hide Walkman-type speakers, one on each side of the stage hidden inside huge model speakers with a CD of KISS Alive I, II or III...IV if you wanted to model a symphony.... I would have a tour bus in back, limos, groupies, etc...and the trick here, so you don't have to buy thousands of 1/87th scale fans, is to place the stage facing the edge of the layout so you only have to model the first few rows...now where to find HO scale Bic lighters....hmmmm.
