Model railroad ideas, zombie style

Ben has amassed a fair collection of model trains since he was a kid, and he’s been (finally) talking more seriously about building a layout for them. We have the space set aside in our house, so now it’s idea time.

We jointly decided this morning, accompanied by our good friend COFFEE, that one section of the layout should be zombie-fied. Little bloody/guts-showing miniature figures set up on one part of town where a derailed train has been burned (or is on fire) and a few non-zombie miniature figures huddled in small groups with cricket bats and beer. The zombies will be headed toward the part of town that remains (for the time) unscathed.

And in that unscathed part of town, there will (at the very least) be a MirthMobile parked outside Stan Mikita’s donut shop.

I would also like to see a secondary layout that reflects the late 1800s, with steam engines and top hats. And a TARDIS.

Gods bless Sundays with strong coffee and Doctor Who on DVD. So say we all.

    The proof is in the pictures. So say we all.

    Hi !

    I suggest that you shot the whole layout with a DV camera as soon as it’s done, and propose it as alternative demo sequence for Resident Evil Zero (GameCube version, the one that starts inside a train full of zombies).

    But maybe you already have had the idea ;p

    So say we all.

    Great idea, don’t forget brainless corpses lying around!
