Bob in New Orleans u5nscm is a railroad fan, 75 yrs old, former HO enthusiast. Now intending to build a garden railroad in back yard. Space measures 20 x 60 Ft. and is nice and flat, although a bit wet in some seasons. I intend having a drainage system put in.

Then, a mail line designed as a double loop, with a reverse loop portion, and a smaller line that will branch off and climb into some hill country. I intend direct d.c. control, with two main line cabs and a third cab for the hill country division. Track will be controlled by a board that allows control of each block by toggle switches that allow either cab to control each block.
