Owen Miller, G Scale, Garden Railway, The Crystal Mountain Railroad. In his own words: ""My garden railroad consists of two 400 foot main lines with the outside main having a siding or runaround (reversing) track. I have 9 yard tracks with the longest being about 20 feet long. They all tie into the inside main. I have a double crossover to get from the inside to the outside main. I have a 30 foot trestle with two foot covered bridge in the middle. The height varies from 3 foot high to 16 inches. I also have a 3 foot tunnel that covers both mains. The minimum radius on the mains is 9 foot on the inside main. The trestle has 15 and 16.5 foot radii. I use LGB switch machines throughout and have them controlled by Aristo Train Engineer. "" For the wintertime, he even has a working rotary snow blower and spreader for the snow! Owen is a NMRA member. Photo courtesy of Rick Howland
