    Model Railroads

    I know that Cessna152Towser has an elaborate model railway set up and that starbkjus, Michael Steinrok, and MacWAge all are interested in toy trains.
    I was wondering how many model railroad enthusiasts were on X Marks the Scot?

    Since it came up in another thread I thought I would show you my set up. Now I made the railroad more for the challenge of the gardening a miniature landscape than making an accurate scale model of a real railroad.

    Most of the individual buildings are modifed birdhouses save for the downtown area which I made from scratch. I started working on the landscaping some three years ago but some of the trees were older bonsai that I felt would do better in the ground. The plant life includes Japanese Maples, Korean Hornbeams, birches, boxwoods, and a wide variety of groundcovers.

    So here is the sleeply little town of Fretwell Falls

    I would be most interested to see other member's set ups.

    Cheers
