Car Carriers in G-Scale Garden Train Land - 12-31-14

(Blog Entry by Bob)

Lately, I have been enjoying photos from G-scalers in New Zealand and the southern United States.  While they have been enjoying their trains and building new features for their layout, everything here is nearly frozen.  There is a chance for snow this weekend and with the weather today being partly sunny,  I gave my butt a push outside to clean the track and run a train. After buying a used car-carrier in the late summer I realized I had not run all my car-carriers together.  The weather stung at my nose and fingers but I managed to get a few new photos of the layout just in time for New Year.

At this time Mary and I would like to thank you for following our blog and hope you have been enjoying the photos.   We would like to wish you a Safe and Happy New Years and cannot wait to see what will happen in G-Scale Land for 2015!

Tankers Away in G-Scale Land - December 14, 2014

(Blog Entry by Bob)

We REALLY like Tanker Cars!  Mary and I  both get very excited when we see tanker cars travelling past on the tracks near our house.  For the past 4 years, we have slowly been collecting tanker cars for our G-scale layout. It wasn't until this summer when I gathered them all and hooked them together that I realized that we have more tanker cars than any other rolling stock.  I was having so much fun a couple of months ago, that I forgot to take pictures of the tanker cars all together.  Having nice weather again I took them out for another trip around the rails.

November on the Layout in G-Scale Garden Train Land - November 29, 2014

(Blog Entry by Bob)

November has been a tricky month for running trains. With the mountains of continuous falling leaves, rain showers and sudden snow storms, it seems all my time is spent cleaning with no playing. (Along with the fact I was acting in a local community theatre's play.)

Last weekend I was able to clean the leaves out and with the temperature climbing today I was able to grab my train and camera to take a few shots.

Happy Halloween from G-Scale Land (Garden Train Railway) 10-31-14

(Blog Entry by Bob)

Halloween is always a spooky time on the layout with ghosts and ghoulies everywhere.  This year is no exception as our graveyard of monsters empty out producing many frightening shots; shots so scary that it took both of us to capture them all.  Yes Ladies & Gentlemen, Mary joined me the photo shoot.  Enjoy!  ;)   We were able to pick up some new figures and gates/fences from the Michael's Store as they had some items on sale a few months before Halloween.
