Walter Radtke's garden railroad, August 16, 2009.

The town of "Subirdia." Look close - they are all bird houses. Currently there is only one resident. Watch where you step in the town of "High Tide."
Plenty of traffic at the depot in the town of "Stretch." Why Stretch? Because it is a stretch to call it a town. An un-named town on the pike. Any ideas??
Walter's show car from the 2008 High Wheeler train show. Walter is the show manager. The Superintendent takes a well needed breather after preparation for the open house.
An aerial view of "Stretch." The work train stands ready for any necessary rail maintenance.
Walter's sweet pea bush kept over taking the trackage. Solution: a "pea shed." A short freight travels the freight line.
The freight crosses one of several bridges on the railroad. Notice the "Block" signals at the interchange. 
Get it??  Block........ Signals.........   Ugh!!
