Garden Layout Update at Garagemahal - November 15 2020

Back to Garagemahal to see how the season turned out for the outdoor party of the railroad, the elevated garden railroad in "G" Scale. Including FIRST Snow!

We have been showing the progress on the large scale railroad, last summer we showed building the benchwork and laying a "test track". We are back outside this week showing the progress over the summer. Unfortunately, there were problems. The elements, mostly the HOT sun, really created some major problems requiring a major rethink of the benchwork.

Phase one was the west fence, "the Grapevine" section. The wood warped and twisted, the track moved all over the place, and the benchwork turned out to be too narrow. I really needed 24 inches, not 18, and that would make the "shelf" too heavy requiring front legs to be added.

SO much to do over the late summer to get this section back "on track". When it not too hot out there to enjoy the work.

AND Covid has focused the project and ALL our projects, even the channel, to a new propose, stay in, stay happy, do stuff while being "locked down". So while we have gotten out a bit, mostly we have been staying in building stuff, models mostly, and when it's too hot or cold outside, there is the indoor section of the railroad to work on.

So for the next while, we will be showing our fun projects done while staying in. When we can safely go see something, as always we will. BUT with the cold winter setting in and Covid on the rise, we will be having fun!! Staying SAFE and screwing around with models and projects.

One of the cool things in this week's show is Burwood wall hangings by Homeco from the 1970s. If interested, search on eBay for them. Expect to pay about $100 with shipping. The best one, the western street is often available from several sellers. ENJOY!!
