Chews Landing & Timber Creek RR --
My wife
Donna started my interest in Garden Railroading one Christmas with an LGB
starter set, Lake George & Boulder 0-4-0, and after joining SJGRS and
visiting the layouts of the members, work started one spring day with a 12x12’
square, a few buildings and a dry river bed.
That worked for a while and then I got antsy
and I tore it all down and started my second layout which ran across the
backyard and under the porch, so to view the railroad, you had to step into it
and the train ran around you. All went
well, until we had to remove some of the trees in our yard which entailed
taking up the entire track which leads us to my third and current layout. This
one runs lengthwise down the yard in an over-under figure 8 with two
sidings. I am working on softening the
grade and possibly elevating the track keeping my knees happy too.
The CL &
TC RR is a free lance RR with no time period in mind, track powered with gentle
curves and a few turnouts. The plan is to keep it simple and to simply enjoy
running trains with minimal effort.

DUE TO SOME DAMAGE FROM FALLING TREES, THEY ARE REDESIGNING AND REBUILDING THIS LAYOUT
