First Snow in G-Scale Garden Train Land - 12-11-16

First Snow

...and so it begins...

Snowfall. 

One of the main reasons a new layout had to be created this year  was to hopefully elevate the layout to allow the trains to be run under all sorts of winter weather.  The temperature today was around freezing,  making it great weather for taking pictures.  I managed to get the train to go around a couple of times before problems developed. The friction of the wheels heated up the snow only to refreeze it as ice balls around the wheels.  With my bare hands operating the camera,  I think it was a race to see what froze first.  I am looking forward to getting out again for a re-match with the winter weather.
