Grave's Mortuary Supply

Scenery Progress (16)
Scenery Progress (17)

Inspired by the new Lionel scale double sheathed box car for Grave's Morturary, I created an industry in the back corner of my layout so that the car would have a home on the Sleepy Hollow.  

It turned out to be a fun project. I took a haunted house that I had previously kitbashed from several MTH farmhouses, and added a bunch of details and some creepy figures. The last step before installing the structure was to paint the industry name on the water tower and the rooftop sign with luminescent paint.  

Inside it has an old Dept 56 Haunted House sound effects module, and while it's a neat effect, it gets old real fast. I am in the process of developing something to replace it, that will be a lot less intrusive.

Wow, I can't believe it's October already! 

 As you can see, I've been busy working on the scenery along the town of Sleepy Hollow and the adjacent right of way between Graves Mortuary Supply and the double truss bridge over the wye.
