Hey Gang,

 

A quick post to show what I've been up to. My Spring plantings have all about bloomed out and the weeds are starting to take over. I've thought about giving this space in front of my home a little garden railroad treatment. If I go ahead with this project, it probably won't be completed until next Spring. This plan uses O-54 and will feature a waterfall and small pond.

 

Enjoy!

Expect them!

I'd love to use a larger curve, but the area measures 64" deep.

cheers...gary

I've been kicking around some other track plan ideas that I may post, but this is the one I keep coming back to. I'll have to do a test build to see if the grade is acceptable.
