One of my favorite topics has always been anything to do with railroads and now it seems if you stay at Riverbend RV park you can continue your model railroading while spending the winter months where its warm. My friend Art is staying at this particular resort and he invited me over to see the “railroad operation”
There are about 6 or 10 club members that own lots there in the Riverbend RV Resort and each year they have added to, built and landscaped the layout in an area near their clubhouse that is quite sizeable. They have laid their track on a base of block and brick and then laid the ballast of seashells loose along the track. Electricity is supplied by battery power and the whole thing is radio controlled so that more than one unit can run at the same time. I believe the scale is referred to as “G” scale and is available through most hobby shops that handle model railroad stuff.
They apparently work on this regularly and spend time building new projects like a return loop on the layout. Also being worked on is a wood trestle that will actually cross a pond area in the middle of the layout. Buildings and other additions are being built although it will probably never be “done”
