For those that dont get GR, Erics railroad was featured in it a few months ago. Eric also does articles for GR and Steam in the garden. Looking forward to seeing him here more. He does nice work especially with live steam,

Welcome Aboard - Eric
Welcome aboard Eric.
Welcome Eric! Great to have more members of the burnt fingers brigade signing on. Love your videos. Your railroad looks great with a little snow, but 30" kind of overwhelmed it.
Some day I will need to try plowing with my Shay. I think my Aristo wedge plows full of rock are a bit too heavy, but maybe if I removed some of the rock tit might go up the hill.
Edit to add - I really like your Colonial New England buildings. Beautiful ;]
HI Eric . Nice videos. When your RR was in Garden Railways I spotted your water tower and contacted you. I knew it was a replica of the one that stands at the Wiscasett Narrow gauge RR near you in Maine. Good stuff. and Welcome to this great forum.
