Tracks Laid, Stories Yet to Rise

The Edison, Echo & Time Railroad spans 365 feet of elevated track winding through trees, shrubs and a flower garden. It goes past a pool and through a fence to turn around and then back past the pool and then slowly descends and goes around the lawn. Finally it reaches the back of the property where is slowly climbs to its maximum height.. It is a bent dog bone shape with no switches. The track is powered with a Roco Z21 XL system. Though the trains already run, the scenes are still to come - every structure and landscape chosen not for realism alone, but for memory, imagination, and story.
