Coolest use of new Microtrack ...

Z Scale scratch Halloween Layout with lights"

Details:
Layout is 24 inches wide by 20 inches deep.

It is created from extruded foam and is extremely light. Foam has been reinforced with wood.

Includes:
**3 scratch built neighborhood houses with pumpkins, cornstalks and more.
** Scratch built manor house with drive under carport. Hand etched stonework.
** Scratch church with steeple, walkways and graveyard.
** Lake, waterfall and stream surrounded by eerily shaped trees.
** End of autumn season with scant foliage remaining on some trees.
** Intricate halloween carvings on base at front--including pumpkins, tree trunks, bat and curling vines.
** Faux granite finish on front of base and on surrounding top of base.
** INCLUDES a transformer to power the lights although it CAN be run with the accessorie connection on a regular train transformer.

LIGHTING INFORMATION
**12 volt miniature lights were used through out.
** Each house is lit from within.
** Church is lit from within and is lit behind the property to illuminate the graves.
**Lights embedded in halloween trees at back left side of layout.
**Light embedded at base of lake to illuminate lake and waterfall.
**Lights embedded (hidden by rock and trees) along roadway.

TRACK INFORMATION:
**I used the new Micro Trains Line track including a feeder track. The GREATEST track ever invented

NOT INCLUDED: Train transformer or train.

OPTIONS: I will be happy to add people or vampires or werewolves or all to the layout if you win at no extra cost. I wanted to leave it blank so the winner could choose whom--or what--inhabits the layout.
