The Delaware & Chesapeake Garden Railroad is
a rural backyard rock garden that broke ground in 2003 and contains a
variety of annual and perennial landscaping material grown locally.
The tracks are built on a stone dust ballast, while locomotive power
is operated through a battery, remote control system. This year a
freight yard and loop has been added to enhance the 40 x 30 foot
area. The Delaware & Chesapeake also features a fishpond fed by a
waterfall that flows down a stone riverbed.

After helping Keith Heck for several years, Steve
finally went out and built his own layout (learning from Keith's
mistakes ;-D). Tunnels, bridges, flowers, and multiple tracks are in
abundance on this layout.
From Centre Rd (Ferris Rd), turn east onto Faulkland Rd for 1/2
mile. Turn right onto Oakhill Dr. and immediately turn left onto
Greenleaf Rd.
