Re: Garden railroads

So Donna, on these garden trains the idea is to suit the garden to the 
scale of the train?  How much room do you think is adequate for 
something that size?  Also, just give me a guess as to how much a 
locomotive would cost.  Usually, I like to work in smaller scale.  I tie 
flies that are smaller than your pinky finger nail.  I have hand painted 
soldiers in battle scenes that are about the size of your thumb nail.  
Until I became so busy I was doing an HO scale train scene at 
Christmas.  But I can see the attraction of a garden train as well.

Thanks

DF
