We then headed north toward Mineral Wells. Clark Gardens was having their third annual Garden Railroad day. Last year we went and it was cold, rainy, and windy. This year it was hot, dry, and still.
These locomotives were brought by the live steam guys. The track they run on is 7 1/2 inch gauge and you can ride on them. They couldn't steam them up because of insurance reasons but the green one was running on compressed air.
That's Lynne, Jesse, and me on the right. They had a short track to run the trains back and forth on.
He ran this one for us. It has a Honda gas engine and hydraulic drive. It sounded about like a lawn mower going back and forth. It cost more than the Saturn I just bought! Wouldn't one of these be fun running around the house?
This one was battery powered. It had a sound system to make it sound like it was really running. He had a remote control to run it with.
Here are a couple of shots from the permanent garden railroad at the gardens. The boys took all these pictures.
There was a Shay locomotive running on the high line.
The garden railroad club from the D/FW area was there set up in the tent. They had 5 or 6 trains running in the floor. Granma saw a great wreck after a kid kicked one over.
