This whole thing about "G scale" and garden railroads began when I considered buying one of those Coastal/Silverado Express trains from Scientific Toys. My plan was to operate that train on tracks made of cermaic clay that were to be molded and fired by a friend (we even designed switches with frogs that we molded but never fired, they are now recycled into fish aquarium pieces.) Well, Vic and Ian and a whole host of others warned me against them due to quality issues and I went on to purchase a few Bachmann Locomotives. Well, this weekend I was suprised to know that my father had a large box waiting for me. In it was a Silverado Express train set that he said he got from e-bay. It was mine. Well, needless to say I was quick to open it and see that I had missed. It looked a bit like a toy, but I figured I could modify it for use in the garden for my daughter. Later this week I will post some pics of some of the modifications to add...Locomotive #12 to the N&MRR roster. It is not remote controlled. I am thinking of seeking out one of these that is remote controlled and making the same modifications to please the neighborhood kids. Well, what a fine turn of events this is!!!! Capt Carrales [:p]
