Hey Marty,

Did you pass along the spirea clippings to your model railroad friends in the smaller scales??

That stuff makes nice trees!!! [;)][:)]

THATS RIGHT!!!!![:I]
Fall is a great time to do those hard ,dirty task.

Here the older track going to the High Line has been rmoved and one of the old bridge abutments has to be taken out.



Who says you can't remove concrete roadbed.
here the plants have been pulled out and the rock face has been installed to hold the lose dirt back.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.
