The Garden Railway Manual: Step-by-step Guide to Building and Operating an Outdoor Model Railway

There has been a notable revival of interest in constructing and running outdoor model railways, with an extensive range of suitable equipment now available commercially. This includes G guage and live steam locomotives which, together with an increasing interest in narrow gauge railways, have transformed the garden railway scene. This work uses a practical manual format to provide step-by-step instructions on how to complete the various modelling and construction processes. Chapters include: gauges and scales for the garden; surveying and setting out; raised and ground-level construction; electricity in the garden; planning the layout; civil engineering; track laying and live steam operation.
