Breaking News!

Hope the folks on that passenger train get out of the way in a hurry!!!

Great scene

Don

Haha good stuff! Sounds like it's too late for a diplomatic solution.

Also, those sure appear to be perfectly in scale!

Hope no trains were derailed during the filming!😀😵‍💫

Ha!  I believe that Godzilla's height is in the 300 - 400 foot range. Godzilla is about 3 times the height of the car. Given the car height of a scale 15 feet, that would put Godzilla's height at about 45 feet. That would be in the range of a factor of 8 - 10 times under scale.

I can just see it:

Godzilla "Roar Roar Roar",spits fire  (DCS is the only way to go, Legacy is for losers")

King Kong: Beats chests, yells, shows teeth (Lionel was around long before Mike decided to show up, they created command control for 3 rail, Legacy Rules!")

I don't know...the folks on Main Street, above, seem pretty nonchalant about the pending face-off.  I 'spect they're figuring this Halloween stuff has maybe gone to extremes...like everything else lately!

And the guy standing next to Kong's right foot, below, is either well-inebriated at the moment, or realizing he'll need to find a late night while-u-wait cleaners for his pants!

"Breaking news"?...good pun...and preview of coming distractions destructions in Chesterville?

An Epic Battle has broken out

Someone's having fun!

Someone's having fun with his trains!

The milk delivery truck driver and the public transit bus driver wisely decided to temporarily reroute around Main Street.

Thanx for the likes and comments everyone. I was watching an old GZ movie and became inspired. In case you are curious I got the figures from Wally World online.

The original King Kong's creator Merian C. Cooper envisioned him as 40 - 50 feet tall, however animator Willis O'Brien had him scaled to be about 24 feet tall in NYC in the original movie. The original Gojira was 164 feet tall (and stayed that height through 1975). Kong was scaled up for 1962's "King Kong vs. Godzilla". Perhaps Godzilla was scaled down here...

Pretty darn cool!

When my son was young he created this scene on my old layout:

@WBC I never saw the original Godzillas but that's huge! haha

and a Google search gives

Wow Guys, I never realized how much information there was about Godzilla.  I am old enough to remember going to the movies to see the original 1956 movie (I was 12).  Well its been great fun, and I can now say..."I now know more about Godzilla than I ever needed to know!".

Great fun

Don

It was fun moving them around on the layout. If I wasn’t so lazy, I’d place the military around them better. I have a couple jeeps, tanks, deuce and a half’s, and some Kline soldiers. It’s just for Halloween. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one with GZ on a layout. Ya just gotta live this hobby.

Correction the military sets are Rail King. As far as why nobody is panicking is because of two reasons  First off there is a permanently stationed small contingency of US Marines in Chesterville. Secondly, after all, they are West Virginians. 🤪

Great stuff!
