Helena, AL - Railroad Tycoon

Author  Bio

Overview

To most, a garden railroad would seem like just a model train set up to run in an outdoor garden, but to Clements, his railroad represents hours of entertainment, meticulous attention to detail and afternoons of hard labor on what is just the first phase of his project.

The photo in the article gives some forced perspective that almost makes it look like HO scale. I had to look further back and see the relationship between the Hopper car and Mr. Clements hand.

I need to find a way to get in touch with this Ben. He is just over the river from me.
