The Washington, Virginia, and Maryland Garden Railway Society ( http://www.wvmgrs.org/ ) is currently displaying a true garden railway at the Fall Maryland Home & Garden / Holiday Craft Show ( http://www.mdhomeandgarden.com/ ) at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium (just north of Baltimore). We will be there until 9 tonight and 10 am to 6 pm Sunday. The garden railway layout was designed by me with a bit of help from Jeff Mitulla. The 20’ x 40’ layout features five trains running at one time with a outer loop, an inner dogbone loop, a raised town loop, a circle loop around the patio and a raised “S” point to point trolley line running over the pond. The landscape features a circular patio, waterfall and pond, many (and only) live trees shrubs and flowers, stone and lots of mulch. Here are a few pics -
I had the opportunity to do a live TV interview early Friday morning with Patrice Harris of Baltimore’s FOX45 Morning News to promote the display and talk about garden railroading. I was even later recognized later in the day!
