Almost

From here you can continue to Bullfrog Logging. If you switch left you will go to Pond or Splinters Mill. This trackage is almost a "Y" because you can turn a loco or train.

Shade For Bullfrog

We can not work or run trains in this area because of the Sun for most of the year. I decided to shade the whole area. I used Shade cloth from HD. This stuff has lasted for a couple years so far in the other area of the RR. So hopefully this will last as well.
Posts in Buckets
I used a 1/2 bag of post cement to support the posts
6 posts
The new mountain will be 5' x 10' . That gives us walking room around the Area.
Support for the Shade
I connected the posts with a support framework for the new shade roof.
The tracks are all in now and tested . All wortks well . The next thing is to get ready for the mountain. I am putting on 1/4 inch screen for the base.
Shed

Shed

Rolling stock winter storage
Rolling stock winter storage
The Shed is doing double duty for us, RR Stuff and the yard tools are stored here. Shelving was added for the rolling stock winter storage. JMRI will assign each location and as needed, then the cars can be placed on the outbound track when called for. At the end of an operating session or the end of the season the cars can be returned to their locations. This will also create more operating opportunities for JMRI. Update 6/10/21: Track is now into the shed, middle image.

Pond

Pond west end
The log cars are pulled into this area on the right track. The loco is switched to the rear of the train and then the logs are delivered to the pond to be processed by Splinters Mill.
Pond east end
There are two tracks available for the log drop. The empty cars can be placed on the middle track for their return to Bullfrog Logging.

Splinters Mill

This will be a Shingle Mill, with two sidings available for the outbound products. The stacked wood on the right side of this image is a placeholder for the future Mill buildings. The Mill is being redrawn with CorelDraw. It will then go to the Laser Engraver to be cut out and assembled hopefully by summer 2021.

Drawbridge

The Bridge over the "GAP"
This is a lift hinged bridge that creates the "Gap" and access to the area. We have a picnic table inside this area with an umbrella to protect us from falling things, like leaves, and did I mention the birds?
Drawbridge .
This was a little village for the workers to take care of the Bridge. The workers are all gone now, we operated the bridge. This is also the way back to the Mooccasin Gap Yards and the Shops that will complete your tour of the Moccasin Gap Garden Railroad.
This Garden Railroad covers 60' x 22' with 20' for Los Gatos and Creek.
