Written by Paul D. Race for Family Garden Trains

New Boston and Donnels Creek, South Loop, December, 1998

The photo in the title box shows the south loop of my new garden railroad a few weeks after it was "finished" enough to actually run a train on, in December, 1998. (Click on the photo to see a bigger version.) The section shown is elevated about 18" from ground level, built around a one-hundred gallon pond fed by a smaller pond that would eventually be fed by a waterfall. This picture (as all the others) was taken in December, so the only living things showing are some Dwarf Alberta Spruce and a small Mugo pine.

The track shown is the 10'-diameter Aristo, with a couple of straight pieces to make it an oval. So you are seeing about a 14x15' area of the garden. Looks much bigger in person, but in some ways it still doesn't seem like much for all the work we've put into it. :-) [Note: As of 2006, it's a bit more impressive, but there was a lot more work to get it to that point - Paul]
