My Japanese Model Train Layout

Hey guys, check out what I've been working on for the last few months in my spare time. I still have to put down roads and paint a few things, so it's not quite done. I also have a dozen or so buildings left to build and detail. Let me know what you think:

That's pretty cool man. How long did it take you to make something like that? How do you go out and make something like that? Must take a long time to do something like that..

cool.. but weird..

but cool

Godzilla isnt destroying anything, thats not fun

Simply stunning. You must've spent a fortune on that...

a fortune that could have been spent on more carts! but heyyy

As a model train enthusiast, I love meeting other peoplle intersting in the hobby. Nice work on your HO scale setup. I can't wait until I get my degree and my own living area so I can finally get my setup going.

Matt

wow this is great!

I have been thinking about getting into this hobby when I am older (read: retired)....

I can't see the pics <img src="graemlins/help.gif" border="0" alt="[Help]" />

Very cool !

When I was very young my parents had some friends that were really into model trains.

They had a 2 car garage converted into a room that had nothing but several trains on about 5 or 6 ping-pong tables all together as one.

It was really neat.

I have one friend that has an LGB train that cruises around in his backyard.

The Goodzilla is a nice touch , maybe you could glue a car in his hand ? or a person ?

Nice setup I used to build and Destroy Tons of Train sets when I was younger. You should paint a neo-geo Logo on one of your Trains And build A replica Neo-Geo Land .


Thanks

I see the pics now, what a wonderful setup.

Thanks guys . It took quite some time to build all that. Several months for sure. Hell, it took a few weeks just to build the "table" that it's sitting on. The table is made from a hollow core door. It's actually not as expensive as you might think. You can do something similar for under $1000 easy. The neat part is that if you're really interested you can get a lot of use out of it. It takes lots of time to build everything and detail everything nicely.

BTW, it's N scale, not HO . I like my stuff smaller. The pics probably make it looker bigger. It's tough/impossible to find most Japanese trains in HO scale. The Japanese market is geared towards smaller train sets since most Japanese people don't have much room.

Thanks again for looking guys .

Cool pics, must have took a long time to set all that up..., but where's Ultraman, the burning city's, big monsters, and screaming and running japanese??

Nice!

I used to be into model trains when I was around 14-17 years old. I got out of em and more heavily into video games and couldn't afford both hobbies .

Overall a nice setup for sure. I would love to make a nice HO scale diorama if I had the money and space for it .
