Jim,

The pumpkin is, actually was, a flashing necklace from Wal-Mart and it is being held by a mini-godzilla type character from the dollar store. It is glued to a small square of 3/8" plywood mounted on a plastic truck left over from a truck upgrade. 

 The "Skull Dump Car".....

Fifedog - No crashing these trains!  At least on purpose.  The kids did crash it a couple times though!Oops [oops]

Hey Doug - what's holding that pumpkin thing up on the back of your caboose?  Did you glue that on there on a little platform or what?

RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

Here you go - still working on the gondola of grue, but the layout is 99 percent done.  My wife won't let me drill holes through the table for the wires though Sad [:(]

John, This year I didn't turn the garage into a "Haunted House" where the halloween layout goes, didn't really feel up to it. But it did spend last friday running around the club layout and getting a lot of smiles. Big Smile [:D]

Lionel 4-4-0 and  Spooky Sounds boxcar, followed Skull Dump Car, Bobble Head Flat and Wolfman with Frankenstein and Mummy in their coffins.

 

Candy filled gondola, finger puppets and worms and the halloween work caboose followed by the Mini-Godzilla ETD.

That's All Folks !!!!!!!!!
