As some of you know we just got back from the National Garden Railway Conference in Las Vegas. I can’t believe how hot it was! On Friday it topped 112 degrees! Each day we started out at 7:30 on the bus and toured between five and six layouts each day. We arrived back at the hotel and attended several clinics and seminars.<\/p>\n

I found the following topics of interest:<\/p>\n

How to use drip irrigation.
\nInstalling electrical in your garden railway.
\nWalt Disney’s Railroad Story<\/p>\n

There was also a vendor show. I have about four hundred photos of all the railroads we visited. Most of them are for me to get ideas on what to do with my own railroad. I have uploaded only 6 of them as they are 2.5 megs each. (sorry I am not dial-up friendly).<\/p>\n

I ended up buying a new Disney passenger car<\/a>,\u00a0 some more rail clamp<\/a>, two artificial sounds boxes<\/a> and a pinner gun<\/a>. I now have to find myself a compressor. But once I do, I will be hammering (no pun intended) out lots of trellises in no time.<\/p>\n

The coolest part of the entire conference was the talk by Michael Broggie. He talked about the history of Walt Disney and his railroad<\/a>. How his fascination with small scale trains turned into a very large dream that turned into Disneyland and Walt Disney World.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
