This is a new club layout being constructed by a team of members
Ghost Train was started Friday 13th and the first few weeks sees the baseboard painted, and the wallpaper and flooring added. Next comes the track laying.
May 2026
Description – A model of a train running through a ghostly landscape. Above is the graveyard full of zombies, weird trees, and a huge spider tunnel. Below is the underground ballroom full of ghoulish musicians. Fun and frolics abound if you dare to look! Beware, models may scare some children/people.
Details: Ghost Train was made at Broadland Model Railway Club BMRC in 2026. The idea was to create a very small fun layout that could be easily transported to shows. Audience interaction with buttons was a must, so there are four buttons. Many items are 3D printed. It is a mixture of a 009 style of train running through a larger G scale environment. Ghost Train has build and entertainment videos on YouTube, search ‘Calvertfilm – Ghost Train’.
July 2026
Three months have gone by since the last report. Ghost Train track laying and wiring has been completed thanks to Andy helping with the relays. John also has fitted some lights into various items and painted them.
Some foam hillocks have been made and some outside decoration completed. The ballroom area was pretty complete by July. The graveyard area needs some things doing to it. Estimated completion is around Halloween for the finishing touches, although it will be show-ready before then.
Many things have been 3D printed free of charge by me for the club but have cost over £40 in filament. These include:
8 Graveyard Zombies
7 Musical Instruments
6 Ghost Train Cars
5 flower things…….
4 Quartet ladies
3 Dragon Skulls
2 Massive Clocks
And a Big Scary Haunted House Tree SUNG TO THE TUNE 12 Days of Christmas!
And in conclusion:
It does just need a little more budget please: £30 to cover – UV lamp/Cables/USB Charger Doll’s House parts – Rubber plants/Champagne bucket/Glasses/Lamp/Flowers/Hats.
