La Tour Eiffel avec horloge

Dave,

   Now that is a really cool find, place it on some custom blocks, and run a crossing section under it, way cool Tin plate layout with the Eiffel Tower in the middle!

I love it, DJ.  It will look great on a tinplate layout.

Dave

I had thought about it straddling a single track, but I do believe I'll go with your suggestion.

 Thanks!

Dave

It looks great Dave and the size is about right.

Timely find, with belle France much in the news, lately. Unusual, too, for I have never

seen anything like it.  Is the clock removeable, although that is not a problem?...I'd use it, with or without.

Yes, the clock can be removed, but if I did remove it I would have to find something to replace it with.  It's an analog clock(apropos for a tinplate layout)and it keeps time accurately, so I'll keep it as is.

Dave

Looks good.

Dave,

   Definitely keep the clock it makes the Eiffel Tower a true accessory piece of Tin Plate for your layout, Tin Plate is suppose to be a childs wonderland not to realistic, IMO the clock is absolutely perfect for a Tin Plate Train layout, great find.

I love the idea of having a crossing under it. It's a neat piece that would fit nicely with Marx 6" tin going under it.
