Garden Rail | Apr-26
We travel to Arizona for our lead feature on the impressive Grand Central Railroad — a large, action-focused line built by a dedicated team of enthusiasts.
Remaining in the United States, we present a detailed model of a locomotive converted from a farm tractor. Created by master modeller Chuck Doan, this build showcases techniques used to achieve museum quality results.
Moving to steam, Dave Pinnigar introduces Yvette, an articulated locomotive with notable engineering interest.
On the Workbench:
• Scratch building Churchwater Slate Railway rolling stock
• Re-purposing a control unit from a toy
• Converting a toy lorry into a locomotive
• Building platform barrows
• Seasonal tasks for garden railways
We also include a preview of the upcoming National Garden Railway Show, along with the latest new products for large-scale modellers.
