LGRS Open House Tour - P & R Railroad - 08-23-14

(Blog entry by Bob)

LGRS - P&R Railroad - Mark & Melanie - 08-23-14

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).

4th stop was just behind the fence of Chipmunk's Garden Railroad and a couple of lots over. I would love to have a G-Scale store in my backyard! A gorgeous backyard with a large pond at the top end of the layout. I was too distracted by the trains to take pictures of the waterfall. What also caught my attention were the wooden buildings, a firehall and locomotive shed. I loved the attention to detail in places like the Harley Davison Shop, the grounds keeper in the cemetary and the rail crew working on the switch point. I wish we could have stayed longer here because I could easily relax away and afternoon watching the trains run.
