The Dogwood and Lilac RR is hauling freight
the station
the tunnel
the ranch
the forest
into the village
cheap whistle for the big hauler, use the AC terminals on power pack and a push button, has a Lionel air whistle inside
will expand here with a bridge and small yard next spring
looks like a very nice start to your empire!
I like the idea of using the Lionel stuff. It is the right size.
Good looking railroad… 
Cool.
Already planning an expansion.

Lots of details still to go but trains are running now. Someday I’ll do some scale buildings and nicer landscaping but right now I have a 3 yr. old grandson who likes to play trains with me. The buildings are all ex bird feeders so they can take the weather and he can move them around.
Nice looking RR…
Cool!
Looks good!
Bad as the bug might get the kids always come first.Looks good Dennis and welcome aboard.
