Overview
When your diesel roster consists of a Lil Critter you can't help but drool over GP40's and SD 45's. When you add the sound and smoke it's almost too much to take.
I know I would spend all day starting and stopping my engines just because it sounds great.
Enjoy these guys as they travel through a Garden Railroad in Switzerland.

some very nice aspects seen on this - I noted that the track was jump wired for the most part. I have wanted to do that but dont understand how to do it without lifting the track and working on it in an upright position rather than leaving it in place for the soldering process.Only thing that bothers me about so many " garden railroads" is there is very little GARDEN aspect ... seems to be all about the trains and a plant or 2 and maybe some on the edges is about all there is . Seems to me that a train working its way around plants, rocks creates more of an interest. I know each to his own on this ... I thought this looked very nice in general tho.. Train sure ran smoothly and the double header was nice ...How large a track plan is this ???
