Some August 2013 G-Scale Train Garden Railway Photos

(BLOG ENTRY BY BOB)

While we are working on projects for the train blog, we also have fun and adventures at the same time.  Every week we run trains and take photographs but rarely do we post the 'small' photo shoots.  Here are three adventures we had in the month of August:

Ducks Crossing the Road
I had bought a collection of duck thumb tacks last year, but never figured out what to do with them.  I was going to push them into a piece of wood so that they could float around in the pond.  That never happened.  I was working on digging up a section of train track to lay more shingles when I decided to take a break and set up the ducks crossing the road.

Train derailment
Even though people suspect that I crash my trains on purpose to create accident scenes, the truth is that I am a pretty safe driver but accidents still happen. When they do the first thing we do is grab a camera.

Locomotive Lettering
As you have probably guessed by now, 'G-Scale Land' has not been given a proper name.  Our little town, residential community, the different stations and businesses do not have proper titles (Except for the Garnet Brewery).   The rail line has also remained anonymous until now.  The lettering on the locomotives is now complete and we are pleased to introduce the 'Bob and Mary' rail line (B&M - pronounced 'BAM!!!')
