I will be running the 40x60 Halloween layout under a 10x10 pop-up canopy at the foot in front of our porch stairs. My LionChief 0-6-0 engine will be pulling three ore cars. Each child gets 3 pieces of candy. My wife (w/ mask and gloves) will be loading candy on the cars. I will stop the train w/ the remote so each child can collect their candy.

Monday will be a pre-run at our church preschool. At that event, teachers/aides will be loading the candy on the train. I'll just be the guy with the goofy outfit operating the remote.
Wear masks? Kids do it every year on Halloween. Distance? No problem maintaining 6'+. Touchless? A washed gloved hand putting factory sealed candies into a toy train car is about as safe as it gets. Children deserve a sense of normality. It's OK to be careful. Just don't go overboard. If you have suggestions on how to make this safer, I will accept feedback.

I think you have it covered. Thanks for being sane through all this craziness.
