Aloha!
I retook possession of my collection of '80s vintage LGB trains when I settled in Hawai'i. Running them round the Christmas tree in 2009 led to running them out into the yard in 2010 with all the fun of cuts, fills, and impromptu (generously termed) "bridges." After weighing the merits of turning an annual treat for the family into a family hobby and doing some research in Garden Railways Magazine and this blog, we broke ground in 2014, and the Oberammergau, Ogden & Olomana RR (the Triple O) chuffed into being in January 2015, forever releasing of some old friends from their dusty boxes and involving the whole clan in what I hope will be a lifetime hobby.
