fifedog Dougnotta - We need to do similar retaining wall in the future, along the backside of the house. I'd love to dabble in some G-Scale, but Wifey's being a hard sell on it.

Emphasize the GARDEN and minimize the train.

Thanks, Becky. That's truly an awesome garden railroad. I daydream about owning the Bachmann Grizzly Flats steamer, and having a train snaking through the posies.
However, if I show my lovely wife that video, her focus will be on the double oven and side-by-side refrigerator over that man's shoulder, quickly dashing the dream.
That's a really great looking garden railway ! I'm also spending a lot of time outside this year... I set up my train room ( HappyPlace) last year !
Looks great !

Trains, trains, wonderful trains. The more you get, the more you toot!
In a way they are making some big strides in the G stuff. I like some of the inovations that have been made with battery power, with the outdoor track it can be a bit of a pain cleaning the track. I went with a sanding pole, a dry wall application, using the scotch brite pads. No crawling around on hands & knees required.
Early start of garden RR and limited operations.
Unfortunately the trestle has since been taken out by a big tree limb. Maybe one of these days, if health co-operates, I'll be able to resurrect the line.
No work on the layout yet, but the "Office" is taking shape.

Instead of "beauty" shots today, I'll share a couple of pics with scars, marks and tattoos. I have several areas on the layout bereft of scenery. Here are pics of my Moorefield, WV area. Across from the Lionel 3656 cattle pen, I have to scratch build, or kit-bash, the South Branch Stockyard. Some false-front buildings will serve the siding track by the wall. The MTH Z-4000 will be mounted below the front edge of the return loop, and a "representation" of Fort Mulligan (Petersburg, WV) will be on top of the ridge.
