Tom - is that an authorized crew member on the caboose, or a crew fringe benefit?

Walt, I've already gotten the request from my wife for our Christmas layout but next on the agenda is going to be a halloween layout in the garage. Since the kids have to climb steps to get to our front door for "trick or treats" we decorate the garage and sit in there to hand out the candy. My wife saw the new halloween 4-4-0 and cars from Lionel and wants one. Kickin' around some ideas using some of the Spookytown stuff from Michaels and maybe utilizing two reversing loops so the train can run in and out of a giant pumpkins mouth. [:D]

Ft. Worth Texas [right up the street from the Holiday Inn].
Talking about grain elevators, some "bigguns" there and two big yards [narrow down to go under highway and expand on the other side].










Hundreds of these waiting near the above elevators.

Lots of hard work and stayed up all night to finish. [;)] The sunflowers were the hardest to do. [:D]

dougdagrump: there's SO much great Halloween stuff out there that I considered setting up early and, like you, creating a Halloween-themed layout to use for a few weeks. There's as much great Halloween stuff as Christmas stuff, for train layouts that is, it seems.

I love your idea. Maybe deliver the candy on the train to the kids!

Walt, Initially I was thinking of using some dump cars to deliver the candy to the kids but I "dumped" that idea because sometimes we get large groups coming at the same time. Although I guess I could use this delivery method when we only get two or three at a time. I wonder if the automated loaders could handle small candies to refill the dump cars ? Hmm, tootsie rolls on the log dump cars, sounds good to me. [:o)] [:D]

WHAT?! Not a huge N scale empire?[:p][:D][;)]

I wouldn't mind having an O gauge layout. We have a Lionel Phantom III that is begging to be run on more than an oval.
