Halloween is this coming Monday, so if you have Halloween photos this would be a good place to post them on this weeks WEEKEND PHOTO FUN.
For the last two years I have been running trains during my church's Halloween event. Monday I will be doing that once again. Here are some pictures from last year;
This year I repainted a MTH/IVES caboose so it would match my C&O MTH/Ives Tank car.
Let's see your pictures (even if they are not Halloween related)

With Christmas coming, how can I forget one of my gifts for christmas 1959... the 128 Animated Newsstand......it has the complete feel of PostWar Lionel: animation, over-scale-sized figures, the hum of the motor, and durability. It runs as it did on that Christmas 57 years ago!

Happy weekend everyone! I don't own any Halloween-themed stuff, but here's my contribution to this great weekly thread...
Joe that is a terrific scene!
Thanks for the kind words, Al!
My birthday gift
Alex, did the screws in the bottom base go up into the wood blocks on the inside of the silo bins (tubes)? That would make sense but they dont appear to line up in the photo, maybe just the camera angle?
Joe
Here is a video i did last night.
Here is pic's of my MTH Premier Western Maryland GP9. I had this for 3 weeks but was waiting on Midge to find front polit. Its wrong color its chessie color and detail on the truck frame.
Nice video Chessie1971. Is that a modular or permanent layout? Sounds like there were quite a few children around. Was long hood forward prototypical on the Chessie system?
Jeff: Nice engine. I've got the same one in Chessie. Instead of waiting on MTH, ever think about heading to your local Home Depot or Hardware store and get a can of black spray paint? Did it come like that? Makes you wonder how that got past "quality control"...LOL!
Thanks Joe! Yes chessie run both ways short or long hood foward and yes thats permanent layout at the club.Thanks Matt!!!! Matt yes i know i can get black paint but just trying to give Midge to find one but if not i may have too. Joe forgot to mention we had over 500 parents and children go thru last night. They had business's on main street giving out candy plus we did too. One member told me they had 700 pieces of candy it was all gone.

Jeff, there are a lot of those safe Halloweens supported by local business now/ It's good the club was able to participate. With that many guests I'm sure you guys may have hooked a few future hobbyists.
As some of you know I have been building small Westinghouse and GE electrics for my mining short line. Over the years I collected Japanese Brass shells and put K-line S-2 running gear in them. This is the first one I did of three. A few years ago I sold off the extra shells as I figured I would only need two small electric for the line and keep the third as back-up. This first one had a Lionel pantograph; That has been changed to a scale pan. Don
Yeah Joe i think we may be getting a few to join the club just have to wait and see.
Have a great weekend.
Happy weekend to all. This weekend Shark Bay -layout has some Maine Central action.
As always Joe A. great work. Don

This is a great shot
Long hood forward is SOP for SRR so kinda fitting for the photo.

Orange and green are pumpkin colors. That counts for Halloween, doesn't it?

Nice
All I really have is the foamer moment I had when I noticed something was tacked on the back of yesterday's ride home...
