My RR is basically a large dog bone. There is an egg shaped loop up by my house and then the main line goes down hill to a small yard and a loop next to my garage. The mainline is one scale mile long.

I plan to get up on the roof this fall when the leaves are cleared to get some shots.

Charlie,

Welcome to the forum! Great pictures. How about the video of the N-1 pushing the snow plow?

Big Pete, I didn't know you were on here. I've been trying to join the group for over a year now without success until the past few days and now I can share photos and videos.

Well, since you asked, here's my Reading Mallet pushing my snow plow. I built the plow around a brick so it would have a lot of mass.

From one end of the RR to the other is roughly 165 feet.

We have more garden to expand to in the coming years. This is just our first loop. Two additional loops are planned.
