Garden Rail

Garden Rail covers all aspects of outdoor model railways. It is aimed at established converts to the hobby, as well as those yet to desert their indoor layouts and discover the real potential of large-scale modelling in an outdoor setting. The magazine is a monthly publication.

As the Gauge 1 Model Railway Association celebrates its 75th birthday, we visit the president′s own line, with a show of many of the locos he has designed. We′re getting technical with a look at gearboxes for battery-powered models, building a 4WD Simplex with plenty of grunt, a mine and concrete huts, suggesting the top 10 tools for your workbench – and starting our biggest project yet, building a live steam locomotive from a kit. Can a novice put together something that works? We′ll find out. All this and the latest Product News for the large-scale model railway enthusiast.
