Hello From Sonoma, CA

[J.Wallace]

Hi Everyone,

I am new to G scale railways. Currently working on my first garden layout for the back yard. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Just finished painting my new steel bridge and cleaning up the first of several used G scale building I found. This will be a fun summer in the back yard!

Welcome J. I think I remember Sonoma from a road trip I did through Northern California some years ago. Nice wine and pleasant climate. And you have the TrainTown Railroad as inspiration! My advice would be have big plans but start small so you can get some trains running!

Welcome from the UK.

For many years my wife's grandfather lived in Boyes Hot Springs. We stayed with him on a couple of occasions when visiting the States in the 1980s. On one of our stays, we visited Train Town and enjoyed it very much. It seemed a complete to surprise to my wife's grandfather that such a place existed!

Jon, your link above just leads to the general G-scale topic listing, not your specific thread, if that was your intention. Cheers, D
