Title
Train Room
Description
Our home was given the name Sylvan House because of its forested setting in more than an acre of dense woods in Sammamish, Washington. Most of the trees, ferns and other vegetation are on a steep hill behind the house as seen in the above photos. Sylvan House Railway is located in the room at the far right of the left photo. The photo on the right is the view from the windows in the Train Room.
The origin of the Overhead Layout dates back to April 1992. My late wife came home one day and told me about the wonderful large outdoor trains she saw in a toy shop. Although the house is on a steep hill, there is a small, nearly level Northwest garden behind the dining room, and she thought it would be nice to have one of these trains running there. The toy shop was going out of business, and everything was being sold at a discount, so the first locomotive, an LGB Spreewald, two passenger cars and a few pieces of track were purchased that same day.
During the rest of the year I surveyed the garden and began planning a layout. However, in the Northwest, plants, trees and shrubs grow like crazy, so by the time the next spring rolled around, obstacles to construction had increased in both size and number. Several re-planning iterations occurred, but eventually I gave up on the idea of an outdoor layout in this setting.
