I visited the Riverbend RV park near LaBelle, FL a few weeks ago. I had heard that they had a great garden railway. They have an operating session every Saturday morning, so Brenda and I are planning to go over there tomorrow morning. I'll take some photos for you to post on the blog (if you want). In the meantime, the link below will take you to a web page that shows the layout:

 Here are some photos of our visit to the Riverbend and Southwest Florida RR which Brenda and I visited this morning. We had a great time.

The small club dismantles everything, including the track at the end of March when they leave the RV park for the season. They have a couple of storage buildings in which they store everything. The railbed can become completely submerged in water with heavy summertime rain storms.
