|
|
| Let's get a real train running. | George has used several different methods for laying his track. Here we see treated wood deck rail ballisters which give a stong base. |
|
|
| Here is how this method does curves. | A newer method is using the Trex type decking material. It is very strong and smooth curves can be made easily. |
|
|
| An example of curves done with the Trex material. | A gentle waterfall into his pond filled with goldfish. |
|
|
| The railroad runs thru a beautiful field of Black Eyed Susans. | |
|
|
| George's railroad has two blocks. One running up the other downhill. Here the SD38 is running uphill while the 44Tonner is already in the downhill block. | Here you can see the many goldfish. |
|
|
| The long train curving around, still going uphill. | Lew Loker enjoys the morning with George. |

| Bob Judge, Lew Loker and George sitting by the pool watching the trains go by. | George's Steam loco with great sound. |
