There are lots of things that are found at our local stores and homes that can be used in the Garden Railway and usually cost nothing. I started a listed of some things that I found work great in the railway setting and most can be found at home. Feel free to add to the list. - Bottle caps make great metal signs for buildings.
- Plastic corrugated for sale/vote for signs can be used to make buildings.
- Boot laces make great hoses.
- The plastic insert found in toothpaste makes great streetlight lamp/shade
- Those little coffee creamers found in restaurants make great garbage cans. For a lid use a bottle cap with some wire for a handle.
- Those blue handle allen keys that come with aristo track are great for cleaning the points etc... on switch tracks. Just stick in ground by each switch.
- sew on snaps make great knobs.
