Ha! The wording in your post had me confused for a moment. I thought the N scale layout was a garden railroad as well and I was really starting to wonder how they kept everything in a functional state, fighting with the outdoor environment.

Looks like it'll be a good tour - shame I'm 1100 miles away :(
