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.

40 years to build a garden railway? To be fair, Andrew Armstrong's layout, the Blackhead Light Railway, has been rebuilt several times in different locations, and there has been plenty learned along the way. 

We've a fine selection of workbench features too:

Building 'Edward' from the railway stories in G scale

Measuring the power of a steam locomotive

Scratchbuilding a Kerr Stuart diesel

Fitting wagon wheels

Building a wooden wagon kit

There's also a review of Roundhouse Engineering's latest loco – Harrogate as well as a range of laser-cut platform trolleys.
