Sponge Bob figures are available from Nano Metal Figs.

Sponge Bob structures are also availabe at pet stores for use in aquariums.

you could use these items on your layout with your Sponge Bob Train.

Already have them. I also have the aquarium ones too

We are thinking the same thoughts!

I just got a package in the mail today for a potential micro-layout idea:
Spongebob

This will definitely be a winter project for me but I am looking forward to it!

Well I don't have any Silly things from around the layout today, but how about a "Silly Train Set"?  Found this several years ago on a bottom shelf of an antique store covered in dust...cost $5 , as I train collector I just could not resist.  Believe it or not, this battery powered set really does have a headlight and "choo choo" sound (awful!) and it runs on BLUE track.

Well best wishes, this is about as ridiculous as I get these days

The evil Megatron and the towering decepticon Bruticus have invaded downtown River City, luckily for us though, Optimus Prime has responded and is ready to send them back to Cybertron!

Jokes aside, the Transformers actually do blend in really well with regular O gauge vehicles in their vehicle modes, the only thing that gives away it's really a robot is the symbols.

Don, I have a very similar set but in the "Eggliner" scheme, I'll have to pull it out as Easter is fast approaching.

Wow! That building must be built well above code if it can support a transformer on it's roof!
That could be a good scavenger hunt idea: Find all of the transformers in vehicle mode and win a prize (candy, toy, etc)

Oscale Trains Lover :  "Eggliner" - now that's one I would like to see   Thanks for the comment, that Silly train set (SMURFS) after many years of taking up space in my storage cabinet went to my wife's antique booth and sold almost over night (also priced at $5) so I guess there are folks who just like the "blue people" .  But the kids and I had fun with it for awhile.

Depending on the size, you can fit at least 2 on the MTH premier TOFC cars. I even have a few that turn into planes that I like to place on the Lionel missile launcher cars as a "mobile launch ramp" type thing. The firing mechanism doesn't work in that form but it's still something cool for the public to see.

Some how I sat them down this way.

I'm glad that you liked it Bryce, thanks for the input. Did you check out the earlier articles on the citizen of Warrenville while on the site?

As to the Monks, believe it or not, I got them at Hobby Lobby. I also purchased the Native Americans there.

John

John,

Yes! I have checked out all of your articles on the Warrenville website. I really like Nessie visiting the lake and Cape Warrenville.

Thank you for the info on the monks!

This is a fun topic, and I am enjoying all the posts.
Here’s a photo from our small 4’ x 4’ layout which has my first train set I got for Christmas in 1956 (Lionel 1615 loco and her work train) and a duplicate of the Lionel 520 electric motor and its cars that my little brother received. The layout mainly represents an 027 layout of the 1956 era.
Here, two workers pause while working on buried power cables near the rails as the 520 electric motor passes with its freight cars.

Don,

I have not forgot! Here is one of my sets still sealed in the packaging! They came either with a purple engine and red caboose or are a clue engine and a green caboose. There are few floating around the internet....

Happy Easter to you and yours!
