In spite of threatening rain, a goodly number of MGRS members,
neighbors, and friends visited the home of Dick and Sharon Clark and enjoyed
their hospitality and, of course, their impressive garden railway.
The railway is replete with a waterfall, saw
mill, several town scenes,
a dance hall with an operating disco ball and sound.
There is so much to see on this railway, it
will be covered in more detail in the next issue of The Iron Horse.
The railway is a family affair.
Dick scratch builds the buildings and Sharon paints them. Granddaughter Abigail, a sometimes body
painter,
constructed the Abby nursery on the pike.
Dick also builds his own switches
including the frogs.
Folks of all ages enjoyed the day which bodes well for the
continued existence of the next generation of model railroaders.
Thanks again to Dick and Sharon for opening up their home and
garden railway for all to enjoy.
