Wimberley, Blanco & Southern Railroad

The Wimberley, Blanco & Southern Railroad is located down in Texas. Two of my good friends run this backyard railroad. The railroad was just completed last year and has alot of nice scenery around it. The first 13 photo's are of when it was under construction.

It sure is alot of fun Andy. For as how much land the layout is on, I forget. I know it is close to 6-7 acres or more of land Nick Edwards has this railroad on.
