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.

This issue takes you behind the scenes of one of the most ambitious temporary garden railways ever built, the stunning BBC Gardeners’ World Live display created by Andrew Christie. We tall the story from transforming a car park into a gold award-winning railway garden to keeping trains running for thousands of visitors. 

We're also heading to Scotland to visit Forest of Glee, a remarkable exhibition garden railway built for the Falkirk Model Railway Club show. Created indoors in November, complete with real flowers, and a fully operational railway, it's proof that garden railways can flourish anywhere with enough imagination.
