Well, the news itself is not big, but the subject is.
I received a phone call last Saturday from a gentleman in Kensington who we’ve visited and helped in the past. He wanted to sell all of his train stuff and wondered if I knew anyone that would be interested. I knew Tom was looking to buy some stuff so I gave him a call and we headed to Kensington.
I knew this guy had some larger scale stuff but I thought it was O-scale. Then I saw the G-scale track and little steamer.
Kim’s been wanting to set something up in the back yard ever since she saw Dara’s garden layout in Amherst, N.S. (http://www.geocities.com/greencrowrailway/ ). I’ve wanted to as well, but have been reluctant to use my HO-scale money (the money is full scale, the purpose is for HO trains) on G-scale stuff.
The price was right, so I took it home. Sure, it is LGB brass track and a very toy-like LGB steamer and coaches, but it’s a start and (did I mention) the price was right.
So, stay tuned this summer for updates on the, yet to be named, garden layout. Anyone have any suggestions for a good P.E.I. themed garden layout?
