The loop is a reversing trolley line. A Bachmann trolley passes a mound of flowers. Even butterflies like garden railroads. The Bachmann trolley appears from between the flowers... ... and continues on its way on a reversing track.
Early morning train run. Plant materials are beginning to mature and enhance the garden layout. Two trains and a trolley. A local freight and a passenger train. The two trains continue to pass each other.
A local freight enters the tunnel by the pond. The bridges over the dry gulch. A Great Northern 0-4-0 logger near the tunnel. Looking towards the house. The local freight exits the tunnel.
The local freight continues to exit the tunnel. A beautiful overview with the mountain vista in the background. Another overview with the mountains. A brand new Bachmann Colorado & Southern passenger train. The Bachmann passenger train is so new, the smoke unit switch tag is still on the smokebox!
The logging train. The logging train and the local freight near the pond. The Bachmann passenger train and trolley passing through the garden. The trolley near the windmill. Iris's make a strong focal point and lend great spring color to the layout.
TRAIN WRECK times two! The waterfall. The logger near dry gulch. The pond, complete with train planter. The awesome view from the deck of the house, overlooking the layout with the valley and mountains behind.
