In these next few general views of the layout, you will see how skillfully Barry and Bonnie married a railroad within a garden!
We thank Bernie for sending along all of these images and captions...so Bernie...this one's your byline!

Stone pathways for walking...

...with the elevated area for the trains...

...along with colourful flowers and plants...

...not to mention umbrellas for shade...

...with lovely manicured lawns - make for a garden railroad paradise!  Here we see Orleans in the foreground with Belleville behind.

Chuff Chuff’s Junk!

The quiet village of Cora’s Corners
