Patrick's Garden Railroad.

Recommended Posts

Since my new garden railroad is American outline i feel it's better start a new thread here than continue on the Irish Layouts one.

The line has been out of service for over two months while the pond and waterfall were put in. With this job almost completed a temporary bridge has now been installed allowing service to be restored.

Apart from ongoing landscaping the next project is to build the bridge and tunnel portals.

After running trains for a while i decided to make some trackwork changes in order to improve accessibility and operation. The short siding near the tunnel was removed as it proved to be awkward to switch and made the area look too congested. The switch was then used to add an additional siding to the yard. 

The main line was also relocated in order to replace the planned curve bridge over the pond with a straight one. I'm planning through truss bridge here which will be more appropriate and easier to build.
