Dug the trench and got the water pipe and the electrical pipe in. Will backfill the trench tomorrow. I started on this about 1:00pm. The ground was in perfect condition for digging, just the right amount of moisture, so I made good time. I even made a trip to HD for some pipe fittings, and still was able to get finished by dark. 
One of the great things about living down south is that the water pipes don't have to be buried very deep. It hardly ever even gets below freezing, so no worry about the ground and pipes freezing. Could y'all up north get away with burying your pipes only 12" deep?
Digging the trench.
Glueing the pipes together.
Connecting the waterline to the existing pipe at the garage.
The pipes going into the train building. There is a spare electrical conduit coming from the panel just in case I ever wanted to add some electrical somewhere... maybe my wife will want a gazebo or something.
