Snowy Day in G-Scale Garden Train Railway Land - 02-14-15

(Blog entry by Bob)

It has been constantly snowing here in G-Scale Land so one day I went out and cleared the tracks and did a couple of passes on the tracks.   Instead of a big story we will just show you some layout photos in the snow that were taken recently.  Enjoy!

Magical Mystery Tour Trolley in G-Scale Land 02-07-15

Over a year ago, while we were thrift store shopping, we came across a trolley decanter set.  When we got it home I replaced the wheels with G-Scale wheels.  You probably have seen the trolley in our previous blog:

Not happy with a gold coloured San Francisco trolley on my
Canadian National Layout,  I decided to change it.  I have always envied the model railroaders that have a 9-volt battery cars that they just turn on, walk away and watch it go around from the comfort of their muskoka chairs.  Picking up a switch, battery holder and an Aristocraft motor I ripped the undercarriage off and attached the new pieces.

As for a new colour for the trolley I was at a complete loss and
consulted with my "little expert" Mary on what I should do.  She suggested the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour Bus.

Picking up rainbow lettering and some blue and yellow paint I
went to work.  I managed to get it outside between snowstorms to run it around several times. 




The first time I chased after it like a nervous father praying I
would not break any glass wear.  It ran very well and I was finally able to settle down in my favorite chair and watch the world go by.
