Miniature Arcade for Train Set
« on: April 16, 2011, 11:13:59 am »
A buddy of mine forwarded this link to me and I thought I'd share.  Someone built a miniature arcade storefront for a train set.  Pretty freakin' cool if you ask me.   :applaud:

Is it Z scale?  ;D
If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

It's too bright inside to be an arcade... Arcades are supposed to be dark!

Nice detail.  Would have loved to have one back when I was into HO scale.

Not only that, but there are windows EVERYWHERE!  Imagine the glare!
That would be a horrible arcade to try and play in.

Still, as far as models go, that's awesome.

I think it looks like a 50's diner.

The link says it is "O" scale.  I really like this thing - it must have taken a while to build.

I've been thinking about running a train on an elevated track between the kids room about 1' below the ceiling but I have no idea where to begin.  I envision it being hooked to a wall switch and there would be "tunnels" between the rooms (holes in the walls, finished of course).  Maybe I'll save it for an area of the basement though.

Very good. I kind of know the proportions of '0' gage, and can tell you that level of detail in that gage would be hard to do.

Pre-tty ne-at. However, there's not enough room to play those front pins. Ooops.  And yeah, there should be black light or blue neon light in there or something.
