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. |
