@Vilhelm22 @Shiva @Toxic43 @ILoveSeatron - If I tagged you, you commented before. Here's an major update on this project:

The remaining 385 parts required to finish the Haunted Train were ordered today, 12/20/24. (I got all of the needed wheels and most of the magnets cheap from a Lego resale shop in a trade.) I just hope these 385 parts arrive by Jan 2nd, so I can get them ready to go into the next Gateway LUG show on January 4th!

One of the final boxes is coming today, and the last package should be here New years Eve, if the tracking is to believed. However, it could easily be here sooner or much, much later.

EDIT: Three of the five cars (all coaches) are now built, with the last two (the observation and baggage cars) are in a state of partially completeness, @Shiva. I hope to have them done as soon as possible. (I.E. when the last package arrives)

The three coaches for this train are totally finished (they are boxed up with the loco and not shown here), but the baggage and observation cars are still waiting on 24 parts to arrive. This last order should be here December 31st. (I hope!)
