08-28-01  Back again with another update of almost 60 pictures from the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis Missouri.  A great place for the train enthusiast.
	08-27-01  Ok, I finally got a chance to spend some time on the computer.  I have so much to update I don't know where to start.  So, I will start with pictures from the Missouri Botanical Gardens that we visited on our vacation in July.  Later this week I hope to upload my pictures from the Transportation Museum.  Then finally, updates from my own layout.
	08-13-01  Yes, I'm still around.  Back from vacation and the work has piled up around the house, the garden and at work.  It has not left much time for the website.  Then my PC died along with the web editing software!  I should be over the hump this week and hope to have about 100 pictures posted from the Transportation museum and the Botanical Gardens.  Hang in there.  Thanks.
	07-20-01  Lots of images from the Botanical Gardens and the Transportation Museum when I get back from vacation.  Here area a few images from the road.

	06-19-01  Getting ready for the G-Day celebration is almost a full time job!  This evening though, I decided I needed to take some pictures to keep everyone up to date. Looking over the new pond and into the original section of the DC&H. The original section is really starting to mature. The original section and the new observation / engineering deck. A new small pond and retaining wall for the original section. The Pool expansion before it started.  04-14-01 The pool expansion Now! 06-19-01 The new pond and waterfall are starting to take shape. The Landscaping Engineer has flowers blooming everywhere!
	06-14-01  Added a new section for the Microsoft Train Simulator (MTS).  Also added a new section to the Garden Railway Links page for MTS reviews and other sites.
	06-14-01  Still working on the layout and getting ready for another Steam-Up on G-Day, June 24th.  I'll have new pictures posted soon.  Finished a couple of updates to the Ruby last night.  Made a Cow Catcher out of a small piece of cherry I had and some epoxy.  Then made a couple of running boards out of oak and added the DC&H name.

 

06-05-01  Still working away.  The water falls and pump system is working, cleaned up the original section of the layout and added some bark ground covering and started work on the Engineering deck.  Updated the Links page as well.
