The Web site for the oldest and most widely read magazine on garden railroading. Garden Railways magazine covers all aspects of the outdoor model-railroading hobby, including building and modifying trains, track, and structures; miniature landscaping and railway gardening; small scale live-steam locomotives, and lots of other good stuff.

This is perhaps the best resource site of its kind on the planet. Manufacturers, dealers, general information, and more.
