Trains Part II

Last weekend Art Sylvester (owner/creator of Daniel's Dream Backyard) invited us to his friend's house to see an amazing train layout that was about five times bigger than his.  The men were playing "railroad" meaning they were each given a sheet of instructions that specified where they had to go and what cars they had to pick up and where to drop them off.  Art described it as similar to a treasure hunt, but really what real railroads do. There is even a dispatcher from whom the men must obtain clearance to go from one place to another on the main line. Notice the real live trees are all kept to scale with the railroad!  

The owner of the house even has an indoor train layout that we were fortunate enough to tour.

 

Thanks, Art for inviting Daniel and the family to another great train display!
