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.
