Welcome to the group! This group is dedicated to all things garden railways, including model engineering. The group will predominantly focus on 32mm/ 45mm gauge modelling as these are the most common but other gauges are welcome. Enjoy!

Possible model I might make, either using an Accuracraft Talyllyn or the PDF models kit.

A brief introduction to my own Garden Railway. The Lee Light Railway. The line was originally built in 2024 after a friend donated some unwanted Mamod track to me. The line is 32mm gauge and is approximately 10 metres long. The line is weathering into the garden well and is constantly being updated and improved.
I will post more photos and…
