UPDATE: Here are some track construction pics from Friday on my railroad and some pics from the garden railroad meet I attended on Saturday.
Here is the link to the new video of my friend Jerry Smith;s garden railroad. I guess I should have been more specific.

Enjoy!
An overview, the towel I am laying on and my MOW car. Friday, I installed 116 rail joiner screws, but it was worth it!
Here is my current power hook up. I love the new power connection thing!
Meet Photos
Rick Marty’s modified Annie. Battery Powered, Radio controlled, and great sound!
The Great Northern Mallet. Very nice locomotive!
The RGS goose #6 crossing one of the many fantastic bridges on the line.
Again #6 , a little closer shot. Great detail on this piece of equipment!
A good view of most of the layout. Track powered, 300 feet of track and beautiful landscaping!
Nice pics! glad you all had fun! Thanks for sharing!
Great pics!
On that photo of the Mallet, what are the two dark metal objects sticking up on the right hand side of the photo? Are those switchstands?
Those are part of the drip irrigation system Ray.

I love your (ahem ) rather diminutive Garden Railway. Its great to see one so excited about non-ballasted tracks and a puny little transformer! $; ^ )
No, I don’t think Marc Horowvitz will be taking pictures of your pike in the very near future, but I’m sure with your zest for the fun and thrill of the hobby you’ll have a grand railway soon…
Good luck (and have fun)
Cheers,
Thomas M.

Well, of course! It is still a work in progress!
Good work. Thanks for sharing your progress.
Right now, I’d love to have a layout like that! My track is all piled in a storage locker and my trains are stacked under the credenza in my office.
How big is your layout? It actually looks like a fair size. On the video the Mallet looks like it has no problems with the curves. What is your minimum radius?

Very cool stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, if it would help, just send everything to me and I’ll be glad to run it for you!!!

The video is not my layout, it is my friend Jerry Smith’s at the May meeting of our GRR club. He has 10’ radius and a 9’ on the inside loop.
My minimum radius is 8’
Video a bit shakey (use a tripod and rotate), but nonetheless the best video i’ve seen (that I can recall). Appears you 've got some daisys like I do. Also, enthusiastic spectators in background (which I don’t).
Kudoooooos!
Thanks for the offer!
