Toy trains and cacti

Last weekend (March 17th and 18th 2012) several toy trains ran through a green house filled with cacti in Ruurlo. And obviously, American toy trains combine a whole lot better with those spiky plants than European toy trains. It was a remarkably sight and although I would prefer scale zero, these LGB trains were fun to see as well. I never been a rivet counter, but seeing those LGB-trains being out of proportion, makes me feel much more relaxed having Lionel trains myself. Perhaps some desert state inhabitant in the US has a Lionel garden railroad running in between cacti outside. Anyway this is how the whole thing looked like at Cactus Oase. The trains belong to the local train operating group named "de seinpaal".
