Should I use Gargoyles action figures on my G scale layout

[trainguy111]

Some time ago, Kenner released action figures dedicated to Disney's Gargoyles. Should I use them on my layout?

[dmaynard]

trainguy111, why are you asking? I mean its your railroad and you can do whatever you want to do, you do not need our permission. But since you asked, sure, why not, go right ahead.....just post pictures

TG111,
I think we'd be all disappointed if you didn't.........
 

[trainguy111]

All right. Calm down everyone. I'll post once I get a camera and my layout started. I decided not to go with Gargoyles because it is too dark and scary and the thought of that gives me the willies.

[dmaynard]

So paint the gargoyles in lighter colours, a hamlet of Technicolor Gargoyles, sounds pretty whimsical to me.

And what wrong with Willie? My new Jeep is named Willy, I call him Will for short

[trainguy111]

Not that kind of Willy, silly!

G'day TG111

If you ever take the layout to an exhibition being " dark and scary " is a bonus as you don't need any extra lighting !

Cheers

I think that fire breathing Gargoyles would be good. Maybe one or two connected to a butane source with a piezoelectric igniter. On the other hand, some of the old Gargoyles were ornaments for downspouts. Perhaps place the downspout Gargoyles above the fire breathing Gargoyles so that when the FBGs go off the DSG's put them out. - B2

dang it B2!
hmm i want to build a steampunk castle for my new layout
fire breathing gargoyles
NOW I GOTTA DO IT!

Dark and spooky works pretty good at exhibitions.  Here's a spooky little N-trak module that has a spider and could probably use some gargoyles. 

B2, I like your idea.  And as a side bonus, it might keep little fingers from walking away with important parts of your layout!

[pedant mode]  All gargoyles are downspouts, or otherwise "throated" (it's where we get "gargle" from): without the throat function the proper term for such carvings is "grotesques" [/mode]

[dmaynard]

Emettman, that is interesting. But I am sure that most people, like myself, didn't know that. To us any carved creature that is placed on the roof or precipice of a building is a Gargoyle.

[G-man]

A gargoyle would make a nice figure head on the front of a loco. It would be better than a cowcatcher as it would scare the cows off the track

DANG IT GUYS!!!!

Well Trainboy, you asked. I always say "don't ask the question if you don't want to hear the answer."
