My neighbor has two boys in Cub Scouts and their group is going to have a float in our local Autumn on Parade. We need ideas to decorate the float. The theme for the parade is "Trains". Thank you in advance for any and all suggestions. One idea we came up with is a sign that reads "All aboard for the Cub Scouts".

Trains....one of my favourite subjects. How about lanterns? They use to use them to wave down a train if they wanted it to stop. Engineer hats on the cubs heads. Red triangle scarves around their necks, blue jean overalls. They could be blowing on a wooden train whistle. They actually sound like an old train. Black and red could be the main colours on the float. An old station sign of your city on the side of the float. It could be made from large sheets of plastic foam, burnt in wood, made from brown paper and stained to look old with a spray of plastic to keep it through a wet day, etc. Google old fashioned train stations to see how the signs looked.
If there's a way to do it, fitting the front of the vehicle with something resembling the old-fashioned cow-catchers would be cool. Perhaps posterboard or cardboard might work.
