Chris Haon's LP & CL Railroad (G)
Layout Tour Dates
Important Note: For 2020, there will be no "open house", in-person layout tours. All Piedmont Pilgrimage tours will be "virtual", video-only tours.
Layout Description:
A simple garden railroad that we started about 8 years ago. We have a mix of steam and diesel, passenger and freight trains. We enjoy running trains with our son and spending time in the garden. Each year we add little something and hope to add a water feature soon.
