There should be a flatcar with the Tardis and the Whomobile.

I don't have a Whomobile, but I do have a flatcar and a Tardis.

Is there a problem with the use of Legos with TOY trains? I have a 6' long hill along the back of my layout with my version of Hogwarts castle

Are you refering to my photos Becky?

The last thing

The stormtrooper is Lego, the Dalek is from Character.

Reference: http://www.character-online.com/search/?t=dr%20who

My Daleks are taken from:

Character Building Army Pack: Dalek

Character Building Mini Set: TARDIS

Character Building Mini Set: Dalek Factory

 

The packs and sets do not seem to be listed anymore, however, the comic book site, "Forbidden Planet," may still have some (where I got mine.)

Reference: http://www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk/

Now, about those two characters in the image above... I told them if they did not behave I was going to, "Disassemble! Disassemble! DISASSEMBLE!"

DISASSEMBLE

Lego told me they are planning a Dr. Who release later this year.

(They told me through the Lego Blog. Smile, Wink & Grin )

 6/18/2015 6:47 PM Tucson Time: I posted a link to the Lego Blog here. Maybe the link will get approval in a few hours/days? If not you can search for it using your favorite search engine.

We should all have some small, out-of-scale toy or two on our layouts.

Like 1/64 scale O-27 engines running on 1/45.2 scale track mixed with 1/43 scale automobiles and 1/35 scale Daleks?

Exactly. Or an ATSF F-3 duo running under Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
