Proposed Track Layout, With Help From A 4yo

[Handsomerob]

Well trying to sort out a few key spots in the garden so I needed to lay out some track, getting excited to finally get the track in place and start running some trains . . .

I get quite excited to see the 8's being used. A most versatile lump of concrete they are too as anyone that has read Nicolas Trudgian's book of the Southern Cross Railway will testify.

Our blocks are horizontally hollow - you can't fill with concrete or rebar!

Well I was able to get a lot done today, the weather and my back both held out . . .

Starting to look like a Railway now. I think that I would have put some of those 8's in the other way, you could then have some earth in with a bit of planting. Hope not too late to be saying This!

I'll be making some spots atop the tunnel on the pavers with some barrier sheeting and plant some perennial creeping foliage, I've also got to spend some time hauling more rock. One last truck load should do it.

Well a little more work today, it's slowly coming together.

Don't you love the way a Garden Railway comes to life all of a suden once you get some greenery installed. Lovely job.

Further developments. . .

Well, if the snow departs by June I will hopefully be able to finish my layout. It's all under about 2' of snow currently.

Looks like you need a Snowblower!

Ha Ha - LGB are about to release one!

 

[Mike Savage]

That is looking great. I bet you can't wait to be running trains!

 

[Handsomerob]

Well it's July, the snow is finally gone and the trains are running!

 

[Handsomerob]

I also have been working on the patio, every line needs an observation area . . .

What a great little setup.

Hmmm I 'm thinking that the 4yr old is a cover story so he can play with trains.. why are the no pics of the kid running the trains ???

This line looks great! I may have missed this, but did you keep the plants in their pots when you planted them?
