Has Anyone Ever Cut Down an MTH Clock?

You make a good point, but how big is the clock face, And How far away are people going to be looking from?

Perhaps it's not that steep an angle but you have to decide using the sight lines on your layout.

Well, anything is possible. Can you toss us a few things;

-what kind of material is the clock made out of?

-we'd need a pic of the clock

-where did you want to shorten it at?

...if all else fails this could start a new trend or rebuild... 

If the center post is cylindrical, maybe you could cut it and slip a piece of snug fitting tubing over it to make it the length you want.

Thanks for the replies.

Russell, The sidewalk in front of the station is 12' x 132'; the clock would sit midway so from 0 - 66'.

Bob, It's cast metal. I was thinking that I would take a section out of the middle. It is not hollow; but I was thinking that I could drill it out enough to place a reinforcement inside and then superglue it.

RoyBoy, good idea; but I would want to keep the fluting intact.

 Ok, being solid and straight shaft, this should be easy. Find the amount you wish to loose at bottom of the main post, cut clean, and re-attach with CA or epoxy. The reason I say bottom of the post is that if you make the splice in the middle you may have a line showing that will require a touch up of paint - make your cut right above where the base pedistal is and the new joint should be fairly unseen. Drill and pin from the bottom if you think it needs it.  

edit- I'd like to clarify that "bottom of the main post" means bottom of the main fluted section above the layered base....
