I’ve been thinking about doing a Halloween train. I have a Halloween party every year. I thought it might be cool to run a Halloween Train. It is a little late to be thinking about it for this year. But not too early to start for next year. Does anybody do a Halloween Train? If so, some pictures would be cool.

Not technically a Halloween train but the candy corn was popular -

Sorry no pictures, just an idea.
Assemble a train of all the most disparate cars and have it pulled by Thomas. That I would call a truly scary train! Perfect for Halloween! 
HLW produces “theme” cars for each Season/Holiday although I can’t find them online right now…check your latest GR Mag…usually a gon decorated in seasons color!

I started one but quickly got flummuxed by the extra costs, I was going to do a “Dia de los Muertos” train using the Calatrava figurines used in those little Mexican diorama boxs used if you’re familiar with the holiday. I only got as far as adding one figurine to an engine, got several others but I always get sidetracked and still dont really have any way to show it off so I dropped it.

Cool idea Vic.
Where can I get figures like those you pictured?

The absolute top halloween train has to belong to Larry and Evelyn Tennyson.
I bought mine at local shops on Olvera Street here in downtown, best bet is on-line shops, just search for
Day of the Dead figurines
Dia de los Muertos figurines
Calaveras
You should get some hits.
Finally! We’re getting Halloween in Australia.
But we have had a mortuary station for over 150 years.
Hey Bill, old thread, but I have a Halloween train. This car with skeleton passengers. My pictures are gone with the death of the old computer. Frankenstein holding the ETD light. May get to run it this year…

Bill, is the train’s “picnic” event related to something like…
Of course, I expect you folks will have your own spin.
I can see it: Halloween Express Picnic Train of the Living Dead Zombie Crocs. I’m in!!
Those are disturbingly engrossing.
I feel the same. Even more so, since those posters are from a real show and real movie!
