The Scenery Elevator (not to be confused with a scenic elevator) is the result of watching too many first generation James Bond movies. But it has a practical side, as it solves the pesky problem of where to put that removable scenery access hatch after you remove it. It also entertains guests of all ages.

Very cool idea ! Thanks for sharing that.
All you need is one of those radio-controlled helicopters flying out of it and you'll be all set. Very neat!
I like it. Can you tell us about the mechanics behind it?
I don't have any need for something like that and no place to put it.
I want one anyhow!!!
That's about the coolest thing I've seen in weeks.
Thanks guys for the comments. Setting aside the whimsy, this really does serve a useful purpose: It allows ccess to both maintain hidden track and to complete the scenery..which you can see has a long way to go. That’s a big chunk of foam, and it is set back a good 18 inches from the edge of the layout. Lifting it in and out by hand would be a real pain in the back
John...that is something else!! WOW! What a neat solution....but I know its real purpose......yep......there is a secret underground missile base in there

I'd say you have [ ahem ] elevated scenery construction to new heights.
John Armstrong would have liked this, I think.
Best rgds, SZ
I am glad you posted this because it is definitely a cool AND useful item. And I can use the idea in the two corners of my layout.
BUT, it is definitely NOT the same picture as when you stood in the spot and stared back at us on Friday night trains.
Ed King, one the old hands from Friday night trains back in my youth (almost 40 yeara ago) said it best; "John Armstrong would be proud".

So cool. Thanks for posting!

Great idea and execution Q. Like seeing Jill Masterson all painted in gold...works for me!
