LCDR Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Actually Lionel in the USA make a Halloween Train set (6-30056) it features Dracula and a Mummy chasing each other round a gondola car. As extra accessories there are Bloodbank car, Witches Brew car, and a bobbing ghost car. Woooooooooooooo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y9 Pug Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Never quite understood the idea of a ghost train. I mean belief in ghosts is silly enough, but how does an inanimate object have a spirit? Does the train come alive at some point in order to die and become a ghost? None of it makes a lick of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of it makes a lick of sense.There are three 'manifestations' possible for a ghost train. 1) A fairground ride where the punters sit in single cars which travel round a track inside a building decorated in plastic skeletons, blokes dressed in sheets and / or haloween masks and strange lighting effects.2) A train in literary fiction that travels the line out of control scaring the people that see it and carrying some off to a horrible fate,3) A real train not conveying passengers or freight run over a line outside of normal operating hours to keep tracks clear of ice, snow or other operating inconveniences.I have seen 1 & 3, but I would need some convincing about the existence of 2!

Sorry to pour water on your bonfire old bean, I have to visit St Augustines in Leeds, and I have frequently seen the ghost there, it is a very humbling experience. And something I always look forward too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graskie Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Have you ever played tennis, WTD? It would only be a second service if poliss, already 15 love up, then had a second go at serving on the second point, assuming he was serving first anyway, otherwise the score would be love 15.
