Hi Larry your garden railway build is progressing nicely. Once the track is laid it will look the part.

Finally got all the track laid between rain showers (literally) and was finally able to run M'Lady with a goods train for about an hour all told - it was great! The track needs final leveling to deal with some expected subsidence but, in general, it's a going concern. I'm definitely looking forward to many hours in the backyard running trains this summer - just hope the grass comes back okay from the construction. And thanks for all the nice comments - they made this project more meaningful for me.

Great job Larry !

Thank you so much for bringing us along on your project here...
Although it has startled a slight urge to get a real steam train now, and not just the electric Marx tintrains already here 8)
