Saturday I visted the B.A.D. (Becky and Dave’s) Great Northern Railroad. I helped the guys out a little bit with the 15" gauge ralroad, then when we were finished, I worked on the G scale railroad on his back deck. Then I picked up a ton of free track. Dave and Becky are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

A shot of the G scale layout on the back deck I hooked back up for Dave. His LGB 0-4-0 and train running around.
Here is a video of the G scale…

The track I recieved. All LGB. Most of it needs new joiners, but I could care less, it was free! [;)]
