Train Your Garden

This elevated mainline was part of a complete garden line renovation, due to the necessity of having a level line for live steam trains. The curves on the mainline are all at least 8 foot radius (LGB R3) for the ease of running larger trains that will not navigate tighter turns.

Over 20 tons of material were placed for the new elevated path. The roadbed beneath the track is plastic wood for durability, made using a custom-cut ladder-style system. Future expansion plans include a switching yard and other industries at ground level.

The next phase for this line is to build out the scenery with buildings, vehicles, plantings, and more. The temporary posts elevating the line between beds will be replaced with trestles.
