On Sunday, after we returned from the "Bike the Drive" trip (https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2021/09/bike-drive.html), George gave us a tour of their beautiful patio (of which we unfortunately did not take any pictures) and his model train setup in their basement.

 |
| Over pass -- not quite tall enough for Gracie to get through! |
 |
| So many details! |
 |
| Daughter Kristin's Ranch |
 |
| Control center |
 |
| A nod to son Jeremy with the baseball field |
 |
| Bartlett, CO |
 |
| Information about what buttons control what functions for the computer controlled actions |
 |
| Remote control |
 |
| George - engineer, architect, designer, builder, controller |
 |
| Hay field with round and square bales |
 |
| The town of Bartlett is placed in Colorado so it makes sense to have mountains. |
 |
| George explaining some of the tasks in creating this masterpiece! |
 |
| Bridge over a river |
 |
| A loading area for company "S.H.Williams & Sons" (for Scott and his sons) |
 |
| Even graffiti on some of the train cars! |
 |
| A campground (we have found it is rather common that campgrounds are located near railroad tracks!) |
 |
| Ironic sign: "Beautify America! Stop Billboard Advertising!" |
 |
| George's wife Marty has a preschool |
We enjoyed our tour of Bartlett, CO and the train service there!
