The Evolution of the Track Layout

In the begriming the layout was a simple loop around the upper garden and behind the pond.
To alleviate the pain of lugging the trains back into the house each night, an extension was built underneath the hummock deck to a train shed in 04.
The logical extension beyond the train shed was a trestle through the Shade Garden. This process evolved over a period of three years, 06 - 08.
The final portion of the extension was a loop around a new pond to a connection to the upper pond, and an inclusion of a train yard, 08-09.
The next evolution of the layout is the addition of miniature buildings and train signals. This stage continues as of this posting.
