Halloween on the Model Railroad

Since it's soon Halloween, how about some photos of fun creepy things on your layout?

 

Workers digging a new grave in a church cemetery:

John, Good to see a Halloween thread started, and diggin' your graveyard scene.

"Just when you thought it was safe," Happy Halloween, Jaws style.

Thanks and regards, Peter

To make it really creepy you could add an arm coming out of the ground behind the workers.

I love that cemetery, John. I would like to do similar sometime. Mine will be secluded, weedy and overgrown. Peter, I like that shark scene. I wish I had something scary to show. Besides my wiring, that is.

Returning to model railroading after 40 years and taking unconscionable liberties with the SP&S, Northern Pacific and Great Northern roads in the '40s and '50s.

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

While I have nothing to contribute for Halloween, I recal someone posting here a layout with the Bates Motel. 

For my friends who model a city layout, what about the Ghostbusters Firehouse as shown here  (you know what five words to say next; cue creppy piano playing...)

Not a good photo --  I used to have this on the layout.  I still have the buildings, but they are in a box on a shelf.  This is scratch built N scale, so some of the corners, sides, etc., are not very good.  I've learned a lot since I built this.

I knew someone did.  Thanks.  Shockingly, not seen the movie.

Hmm. That may qualify as a cultural deficiency.  Laugh

John,  Really like your 'Psycho' scene, mixing cinema with model railroading is fun.

Happy Halloween, Peter
