15 February, 2001, Skeena Pacific Railway in the Garden
 is an eight foot circle!

"If you are handed a basket of lemons, make lemonade."
Since the garden was now in total disarray and disrupted beyond belief, we decided to look on this as an opportunity. We decided to add “features” to our back yard. Storage of garden implements and the lawnmower and the like, had been making the garage very cluttered. Since, in the two years we had been here, the garden plot had been much under-utilised, we decided to rip it out and put up a ten foot by ten foot garden shed into that area. "Might as well add a porch for the shed, to make it look nice." said the CFO.

The main right-of-way  where the North Kalum (main) yard had been, was dug down nearly three feet so that power could be extended to the soon-to-be constructed garden shed.

 

 While I was at it, I buried a conduit back from the shed location to the point where I had determined I was going to put the electrical block control panel for the railway. The idea was to put the power supply and two radio control "Train Engineer" throttles in the shed and have my block switches on a panel near the North Kalum yard. I also included a line to carry low voltage a.c. power for the switch machines.
