I model in HO scale and know next to nothing about Garden Railroads other than my brother sure enjoys his excellent setup....this is my first posting on this particular Forum.  

Anyway, he just sent me a link to a Garden Railroad that I thought this board might enjoy, and if you've seen this before it's worth another look:

The west coast show is going on this weekend and many Mylargescale.com members will be running. If there is no rain.

cool place.

 

Go to Utube and search garden railroads, or NTCGRR for other videos

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

My brother and nephew are there right now and having a grand time.  I've been getting photos from them all day long and it does look very interesting...

Rained most of Sunday, hope too many werent disappointed Sad

Ran into a hellova T-storm heading out of there Sunday evening, one part of the freeway had about 3" of hail for about a mile, so homeword trek was a crawl. Hope the layout wasnt damaged as I'm sure it got clobbered.

   Have fun with your trains

Vic, hope the pizza survived the hail. Was good to see you again.

Here is a short video of the layout at the fairplex.
