Here are a couple more pictures, now that I've unloaded from my digital camera.
Dan Siskind's lighthouse, sitting prominently on the corner of the layout:

On the inside corner of that module sits a graveyard. We will eventually
replace it with a 'haunted house', but we were running out time before the
show and this was a quick build. Buffy and Willow are on patrol:

Underneath the graveyard is a "mad scientist's lab", here shown 'under
construction': http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=209427

The translucent skull on the right shelf has a small LED mounted in it, so
it glows quite nicely. The 'ray gun' on the top-left has a blinking light
in it. Behind the moster on the table is some LEGO fiber-optic lights, set
up to move bottom-to-top, simulating the classic horror-movie sparking
thingie... I need to improve the lighting in the lab, because when people
are looking at it through the window it's kind of hard to see. I *love* the
pieces in the new MovieMaker set: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/1382...
As always, comments are welcome!
The next section will be heading off of this one, with two working bascule
bridges, and all sort of other sillyness!
