| Cool place!
The caterpillar was "Koosh Balls" stretched over green eggliners, but it fell apart, so now it's just green eggliners. Kids love them.

| Hi, Torby
Your garden railroad is so interest and beautiful. I believe you have been very work hard to built its. In Hong Kong, very few people interest in garden railroad due to not enough space in home. Thank you very much for your sharing.
