Brad & Carol Bennett
| The layout began construction in 2001 and is designed to operate
on 2 levels. 2 Trains run independently of one another through tunnels, over bridges and trestles and through forested
areas. The railroad was named "B&C Railroad" for the owners, Brad and Carol Bennett and occupies a third of the back yard garden in an area approximately 33’ x 25’ and separated from the yard by a raised stone wall. The buildings and wooden trestle was scratch built in a scale of ½ inch, and 25’ of concrete trestle was formed in pale concrete. Stainless steel track is used throughout with featured ballast of crushed pink granite also called "Ruby Path". The entire railroad is illuminated in some way, either with Malibu lights, scale street lamps or building lights. Dominant livery is the "Denver & Rio Grande" and the lower main line is often used by the "California Zephyr". The upper level is typically used for freight service. Many of the locomotives on our railroad feature sound, as well as a mix of USA and Aristo Craft equipment. |
