New Video

Here is a video of the layout, complete with French music!  Seriously, if someone doesn't like the sound, just turn down the volume.

Okay Everyone, Here's The Plan.

As according to my last post, the Garden Railroad will likely be taken down this spring, however the railroad won't be packed up completely.  First, all switches and unnecessary track will be taken up.  The loop of track itself will be kept until August.  The track that has been taken up will be put onto a shelf layout.  This Christmas I got a new locomotive with the warning to not take it outside.  Therefore I need a shelf layout indoors anyways so that I can run that beautiful Colorado Mining locomotive.

The shelf layout will fit into the corner of my room, and will be portable :).  So those of you interested in a very small G scale railroad, stay tuned.  As for the layout outside, it will still run, at least for now.  I will probably take on more good video before I decide to tear up tracks.

Merger Near

Well, unfortunately the Railroad's days are numbered.  You see, this spring I graduate High School and will be at work all summer.  So this Spring (before June) I will have to take in a few more photos before tearing the railroad down.  For me it has been a great journey.  The railroad will be rebuilt, although a little smaller and on a shelf inside.  For this blog, I doubt many new posts will come here as the blog hasn't been popular enough to keep up.  However, I will leave this blog up, and will give it a face lift with some more technical information about Garden Railroading.  I want anyone who reads this message that this isn't goodbye to this railroad, it is merely going through another change.

I will occasionally post here with important information and a new update every couple months, however for the small talk, please refer to my main blog, jjwtrains.blogspot.com.

This blog will remain open and active, and will have a page dedicated to Garden Railways and building them.  So check back here if you want, but the action is getting moved to the blog in the link above.  I am sorry that more time couldn't be spent on this section of the hobby, and I will definitely return to it when I can, but it looks like I am going indoors for a while.

Until that day comes, keep an open eye for the occasional update here
