I was recruited to help move my wife's sister and her family from nearby McPherson, KS to Salina where we live. I hadn't been over to the house they were buying so I was totally unprepared for what I found in the garden!/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/blink.gif
I think I said something asinine like,"You've got a garden railroad!!" My sister-in-law smiled and said, "Yeah, the guy we bought the house from had one here. He hasn't done anything with it for a couple of years but he's going to take the track and the buildings. The rest he's planning on leaving here." It's amazing what you'll trip over when you least expect it! My sister-in-law is considering keeping the garden (they originally planned to use a front-loader and scoop it all away to put in grass) so we'll see what happens.
It's a small layout but it has all the basics with a couple of extra features. The layout has held up surprisingly well for being unused for three years!
Here's a few more shots of the layout:
I'm going to get in contact with this gentleman as he is interested in starting up a garden railroad at his new residence. He has attended our WAGRS Open House Tours so who knows? We may end up with a third family in Salina as members of WAGRS!
