spooky details for Halloween Station
Posted by John Busby on Friday, January 31, 2020 12:35 AM

Hi all

I am currently building from scratch spook hill station the scale is very nominaly HO

I would describe it more as a tin scale model as certain aspects of the structure are more reminiciant of the older tinplate rather than HO scale modelling posts start here

[forum link removed by moderator]

Halloween not being the big thing in Australia that it is in the USA (but we are working on that)  I am not sure what to add after structure is finished.

I have a  LED pumpkin it is suposed to be HO scale but thats about it.

I have not located any possible figures other than the two I have a vampire and demon so any sugestions for figures and other obtainable holloween type details would be welcome.

Would it break some superstition to have the station perminatly located on a layout?? a bit like the christmas decorations must be down and away before Jan 1 or its bad luck kind of thing.

regards John

I keep my Santa and his helpers figures out much later than January 1.

There is a Preiser Grim Reaper figure and I think a Bride of Dracula as well.  I took my Dracula and re-painted him as Elvis, blue suede shoes a hound dog and all.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.

Micro-Mark sells hand painted zombies, if that help. I once saw a very large modular layout at a show that had dilapidated buildings and zombies in the street while the chorus to Thriller played everytime a train went across the scene. Very funny.
