London Garden Railroad Society had its annual open house on August 23rd. My dad and I jumped into the car and drove to visit a selection of their member's layouts. I am going to feature some railroads that I took photographs of over the upcoming weeks (with the owners permission of course).
When we arrived at Chipmunk Garden Railroad, we were warmly greeted by it's owner Dave. He had quite a large selection of Piko Locomotives, rolling stock, buildings and track on sale. All his merchandise can be found on his On-line Site:

He also told us of his free shipping for anyone within 100km of London Ontario.
Unfortunately I did not have money for any new purchases. I was only here to see trains run.
I was most excited that he had modeled modern Canadian National, the same as us. I liked how he modeled the roads and the lay out of the streets. When talking to him about weed control, I liked his use of stones to help prevent root growth. It appeared that the local chipmunks were enjoying his layout as much as we were.
