The Scenery is on the
Wall
|
In
preparation for the Fall Open House on November 11th and 12th, 2001, Barry
completed the first scenery area on the railroad. Here you can see the 'wall' above
the foyer, and the Lobato Bridge. In addition, a new 30 inch mining railroad
was installed in the Silverton room, will runs back and forth using a
customized loco and O gauge motor drive system.
