Great pictures of what was clearly a fun day for you and the watchers.

I've sometimes run my RC train on the lawn, but it is too uneven and trucks on sidings have a tendency to run away of their own accord!

Can you show what the track layout was, or describe it, please?

This was the track layout. The strange form is dictated by the shape of the garden around the mobile home.
It is build up by LGB tracks.

It's an interesting shape and offers plenty of routes.  Presumably, there are a number of isolated sections of track.

No, not yet. I'm planning to isolate the loop sections. Please keep in mind that the layout stays two days at best.
For that reason all the switches are manually operated. Some people also asked me why the railway crossing was not working, but a working railway crossing is quite expensive.

Thanks for the information, it's very helpful and I may copy your layout in broad terms.

My mother is keeping the garden. It is a beautifull setting to drive around with the trains.
