I noticed that when you link up all the Infernal Parade wagons they have no means of locomotion. They'd just sit there on the train tracks and not be able to torment folks in foreign cities. They really need a gothic steam engine in really garish colors w/ a light-up headlamp. A velocipede, coal car, and one of those cars w/ the 2 guys on opposite sides of a lever would be sweet too. And it should come w/ a story about the characters actually doing something circus-related.

A gandy dancer is a member of a railroad work crew responsible for keeping the tracks straight. The term is reputed to be derived from the Gandy Tool Company which made the tools (handcars) used by the workers and partially from the rhythmic motions the workers made as they rocked their tools to and fro to straighten the track.
Dear god, I have sold way too many model train parts, LOL
Ah, thank you sir!
All in favor of a demonic carnival steam engine w/ gandy dancer handcar say "AYE"!

Hmmm....
I wasn't thinking locomotive since the wheels are just regular wheels... I was thinking more of a wagon caravan type thing...
WHICH IS WHY...(Dun dun dun...) I just took Mal from S23 and chained him to the first cart and put a whip in Tom's hat hand... I gotta take some pics of it sometime...
a Good observation (wheels) AND good idea Jor.
I have my display broken up on two shelves though. I didn't want to crowd all that great sculpting on one shelf.
