RE: don't mind me -

Well that is pretty cool Chris... Will definitely have to give it a try. Of
course I am curious what keeps the trunk from rotting being that
close/buried in the ground. Will have to research that a tad more...

Garden Railroads are forever in the need of pruning/trimming something, so
looking for something that will only require a once/twice a year clipping.

I have only gotten into this type gardening in the last few years, still
learning here...

Forget the LEGO, buy LGB.... they last much longer in the outdoors :)
