Wine Barrel layout

[Shawn]

I had a spot on my deck that was empty and really needed something. Since my wife could not think of anything I took it upon myself to fill that void. I got the idea from the Hartland wine Barrel Kits. I have always liked that idea but was not willing to fork out the cash for one plus I had all the materials on hand. I went out and bought a wine barrel. I already had some aristo 31 inch curves and the small rolling stock and engines. I first made some braces out of wood to hold the track to the outside of the barrel. Then I added the dirt some rock and plants. I still want to add a small structure to crerat some sort of theme. So far here is what I came up with. My wife actually likes it. What is nice is I can change it up for the seasons/holidays.

Here is a picture with the rolling stock I plan on using. The log car and caboose are from the Hartland mini series. I still have to add real wood planks to the flat.
