LGRS - Twin Ponds Garden Railroad - Terry & Diane - 08-23-14

(Blog Entry by Bob)


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).


6th & last stop of the day.   Terry & Diane's layout takes up their entire backyard and side-yards. This layout has everything: train storage house (6 rails wide), several bridges, tunnels, a golf course, farms, towns, brewery, lumber yard, oil refinery, ponds and a big mountain for mining.  I was overwhelmed with everything and as I circled I kept finding details that I had missed before. I loved the use of Mini-beer kegs and propane tanks for structures in the refinery and brewery.  They had used many ideas and technics I'd never seen used before making the whole layout a fantastic inspiration of what a layout can become. My photos could not capture the whole splendor of what they have created.
