Spring is nice but it does involve work … (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-yell.gif)

Here is a shot of the overall layout!

I see some leaves coming out! geee I think the track needs some cleaning…

This is how my pond looks before…

I do need to do some work… lets go…

Not too bad…

I see the local in the background … It’s nice to have some gondolas to haul stone…

The plants are just coming out!

The spring colors are really starting to show.

Spring growth makes for an attractive setting.

How do they know ???

Cool layout Sean, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that much of it before. Is the big grey building in the back the train shed?

Wow Shawn, I can’t believe how much detail you have packed in to that space. So many different pictures, all of very interesting scenes. Nice work. The mine really looks at home where you planted it too. I like it’s “stairs”.

Thanks Randy

The grey building is the engine terminal!

It’s also were I have a fine bug/spider collection going on!

Bears are relatively smart…until they’ve had too much to drink. In Canada, summer grain spills from the grain hoppers onto the tracks, the heat cause the grain to ferment, and the bears get way drunk. No kidding…I saw this in a magazine a long time ago!!

Hey Shawn, who’s sleeping in the shelter?

The layout looks great; it should be in a magazine.

Thanks guys. I actually have an article written for Garden Railways I just need to get on my wife to edit it… we all know how my spelling and grammar is. (Shut up Rooster)

It is only starting to feel like spring here in Maine…I still want a warm jacket and hat, but the daffodils are blooming and the tree buds popping…must be spring!

Nice video Eric. You better watch that Mtn. Lion at 2:12

Good eye Shawn! George likes to photo bomb my videos!

What I don’t know is what happened after he walked behind the tree…the amazing disappearing cat!

Haha I was wondering the same. I thought he was going to jump out and attack…

Great photos! Your raised line is really neat, with the buildings and plantings
