Video - Garden Train Set in Chicago's Botanic Garden
Posted by Mike Taylor on Wednesday, December 30, 2009 2:34 PM

Hi.

I'm new to the site. I've looked around and there are some pretty interesting projects and lot's of great information.

I was an H.O. fan many years ago, and both of my brothers were, too. Jack had a two car garage completely filled with layout. Now, I have been introduced to garden railroading through a friend that I fly micro R/C models with.

When I was on a cross country trip last year, we went to Chicago's Botanic Garden. They have a 1/4 acre outdoor layout. It is worth a trip if you are in the area.They are working on adding all the national monuments to the layout.

I made a movie for my friend, Chuck, from the pictures I took, and I would like to share it with you. I don't know how to embed it on this site, but you can see the video here. I hope you like it and maybe get some ideas from it.
