A work in progress...
trying to add add visual interest by going vertical
I love the creative part of the hobby.
The original concept was for a miniature Mt. Fuji over the Shinkansen tracks
Instead, on a platform being constructed over the Shinkansen tracks
will be the Lionel station, for the Shinkansen passengers, of course !

Where's Godzilla?

Just curious, which station are you going to use?
Trains, trains, wonderful trains. The more you get, the more you toot!
It is not a real Lionel station
but a Lionel branded coin bank, which appears to be slightly larger than N scale. It will require a very robust support, which I am attempting to cobble together
Another cool discovery is this HO double track portal.
it would look great there !
I shouldn't say anything thing, and you didn't hear it from me:
Godzilla is doing hard time for tax evasion...

Good Lord, no!
Who put the cuffs on him and "perp-walked" him? Must have been that meanie Mecha-Godzilla!
Test fitting my station support

That works!
Not only does it work, it looks like it belongs there, and always did.
Nice adaptation!
Thank you ! I like to adapt things, and combine and make something new from what I have.
Because...
when you're as cheap as I am...
My philosophy too. I don't care what things are designed to do, I care what they cando. When you don't have money it's the best way to get things done!
The fine art of adapting ( " hey, I can use this "),
is a way of life in the G gauge world.
a funnel = a smoke stack
a mini mag lite= a locomotive headlight
a gas appliance fitting from the hardware store = a brake stand in a locomotive
always looking at things with intent to exploit...
Mounted and permanent. All clearances are good. Now to crank out more buildings...
You know, the Shinkansens coming under that Lionel bank kinda-sorta reminds me of the National Diet Building in Tokyo.
See what you think.

Here's one you may find amusing:
The smoke stacks started life as 1:144 scale space shuttle solid rocket boosters!
Penny Trains That's exactly what I'm talking about ! And its fun to create something unique. That looks great ! Postwar Paul The fine art of adapting ( " hey, I can use this " Here's one you may find amusing: The smoke stacks started life as 1:144 scale space shuttle solid rocket boosters!
