This Year's Haunted Village (aka Spooky Town) Halloween Set-up - Pt 3

As usually happens with these holiday set-ups, I'll take a few things out to get started, then run trains and take photos, then take some more stuff out, and so-on and so-forth. The BIG news this year is the addition of Lionel's Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine ready-to-run set from 2018. This is an awesome toy and a must-have for the Scooby-Doo fan. It's part of Lionel's LionChief series of sets and designed to be operated from either the included bluetooth hand-held controller or Lionel's LionChief app on your mobile device. There are station announcements and crew talk in Scooby's voice and a monster's voice, and a standard horn sound. However, the bell sound is quite different: rather than the usual train engine bell, it's a recording of a haunting cathedral bell of the type you may hear in Scooby-Doo cartoons! hahahaha Also too, since the last post we have some more vignettes added to the overall scene and all those diminutive 1/64 scale cars were replaced with larger vehicles. The figures are bit all-over-the-place scale-wise but I'm okay with that - they're all there to have fun. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

So my grand daughter says, "Opa, can I look at the Halloween layout?"
"Sure!" LOL
