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.

How fast can you build a garden railway? It turns out, that three and a half hours is long enough for our team. That's how long it took to put together our temporary line at the National Garden Railway show this year. You could do the same in a flowerbed at home. After all, everyone should have a garden railway!
