A work project and first full GR build. A small row house backyard down in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, DC that was totally concrete. Concrete busted into blocks (some of it 10" thick! Oy, my aching back!) and used for the back retaining wall and fill for a raised bed. Rest of the bed constructed of Xpotential timbers (recycled from all the non metal parts of cars). All the track laid on Tufboard ladder. Track is AMS code 332 (or whatever it is) brass flex. Two simple loops of about 5 - 7 foot diameter each with a siding. All will be battery powered.
As Paul says he does nice work, for those of you in he nether regions who are unable to make the ECLSTS; he has won several prizes in the model contests! I wish I had that patience and talent!
A great looking RR and GREEN too !!! What scale is the rolling stock? This is just the right size for a starter layout … get your fet wet without spending thousands of $ and years of work.
Those trains are my 7/8’s scale (1:13.7 2 foot narrow gauge) trains. The flat is based on an Aristo shortie car and the ore cars are pretty much stock Bachmann V tip cars (but are oversized for 1:20). The figures are nearly 5 inches tall. The owner has Aristo 1:24 and 1:29 trains to run on the layout.
