For anyone interested in Garden Railroading the Big Sky Garden Railroad is a "must see" while in Southern Alberta.

The 7000 foot landscaped garden boasts a 9 foot high mountain with many tunnels and bridges, a lake and a mountain stream. There are actually 2 layouts in Big Sky, a European and a North American layout. Big Sky has minimum 22 trains running on approximately 3500 feet of track, and many trains have digital sound.

Mural at Big Sky Outdoor Layout
The mural was first sketched out near Nanton of our Foothills of the Rocky Mountains in 2005. They were painted by Joan, friends and family. After 4 days it was time to call in a talented artist, Connie Wilson. She worked another 4 days to complete the inspired back drop for our garden railway.
