No....but I'm thinking of sneaking a Sasquatch onto our club layout, since we have some forested areas that need 'detailing'.......

This weekend my son was standing on a stool and fell into the layout. No damage but structures were thrown on the track. Locos were layou on their sides, etc. I could have been Godzilla.

Back in the 80's there used to be a computer game called Smash, Gobble, Cruch. You were a Gozilla like monster and the purpose of the game was to wade through downtown Washington DC, smashing as you go with the purpose of destroying the IRS building.

I kinda wi***hey'd bring that one back.


Are you thinking of Rampage? Where you could be Lizzie, the Godzilla-like lizard, or George the King Kong-like ape. Or Ralph the Werewolf. At least one of the cities had an elevated railway where you could smash and eat the cars.

Nellie, a Stegosauous--it didn't pull a wagon, it was a biological switcher.

I think she's listed under "Fallen Flags" now...

If you ain't having fun, you're not doing it right and if you are having fun, don't let anyone tell you you're doing it wrong.

I don't see it as much as I use to, but there for a while a lot of model railroaders had Godzilla figures on their layouts... I first started seeing them in hobby shops and train shows back in the early 90s. They even have a model of Godzillia now attacking a train with cars in his hands and mouth. I was told that having one of these on your layout brings good luck.

Anybody else out there seen anything like this ?.
