The mainline is completed and we get trains running again
09/08/04: By this date I had all the sidings installed, all the track ballasted, and most of the buildings set out again. I purchased a bunch of dwarf Alberta Spruce trees and herbs and got them planted, and applied Cocoa mulch for a ground cover. I put the finishing touches on the waterfall and stream and got the mill and waterwheel working again.
9/21/04: More plants were added, including a number of dwarf conifers and cypress varieties I purchased from Appalachian Gardens. I got the rest of the buildings out, and made some roads out of sand. Joey went to work putting all the people and vehicles out on the layout. He spent a lot of time getting all the little people and animals set up "just so".
9/25/04: Two of the three Garden Metal Models bridges I needed came in and I set them in place. The piers are still temporary, and I didn't install the walkways yet, but they still looked good. We also held our inauguration open house when we were part of a layout tour organized by the Susquehanna Valley Garden Railway Society.
