I was looking through some old web sites this AM and found an old photo that I had sent to someone to post.
This is the main line almost five years ago. This is all that was installed at the time. I think I took this to show how heavy rain storms does not affect the concrete roadbed.
You can see fire wood that now is the south loop canyon area.
Note the yard light pole base and the dwaft Alberta tree. Next to it you can see the 4 x 4 leg of the deck roof.
So I went out this AM and took this photo .
Note the tree behind the dwaft alberta and how its grown.
Whats funny is the ballast was cleaned off this area a few weeks again for the first time to remove the screws from under the ties so the rail can float better in the heat of summer.
So you see, most new RRs start out with the basics, then over time they really do have to “grow”.[;)]
Heres an over view shot from a year or so ago
Note the little tree and deck
And all the track that has been added that was not planned in the beginning.
Nic one Marty, a little bit of time and the world changes, even on garden RR’s. Keep the pics coming.
Cheers,

Marty, I like how it looks, great job, also if you plan to expand, use Mainline Enterprises’s pvc system that is what i am going with
Whew , lotta work ! Makes me tired looking at all you have done . In the end I know its worth it . Going out now to plant some more trees . Tried the concrete for the roads yesterday . Gonna go out and see how it looks .
Marty, As always inspiring!

To me this was “inspiring” finding this old photo. I encourage everyone to take shots of their RRs as they grow. It does get tiring so the photos help. I remember that the summer I started it seemed to rain all the time I was so discouraged at the time. Now the past 2 years has been toooo dry.
God I hope I never move!!!
