Garden Railway Remodeling

Two of our members are remodeling their garden railway layouts this year.

Scott Gould  is re-casting his Aberdaron Railway track bed in concrete. He likes it a lot because it guarantees a level bed (barring frost heaves) that is weed-free and easily maintained.  Scott attaches the track and ballast to the concrete with silicone, which allows him to sweep or wash the track without needing to re-ballast.

Carl Churchill is getting ready to run part of the Overlook Garden Railway on wooden posts. He got started by removing the track loops nearest the house and re-grading both the track and pond areas.
