Pretty cool!! I'm about to tear up my train table in preparation for a potential move later this winter, and I'm already making plans for my next one. I'll be working the scenery to either reflect all the seasons, or blend from about Halloween to Christmas. A cemetery is definitely in the works for the Halloween section. I have all kinds of crazy ideas, and love messing with automated stuff. I plan on trying to make ghosts "float" around some of the headstones in a kind of circular pattern, and maybe have a zombie hand or two twisting out of a grave. All this is being done in 1/87 scale. I have the molding putty, I just need the resin to cast up more head stones. They aren't cheap by any means..Keep up the great work!!
