Scottish Garden Railways - Large Scale Model Trains In YOUR Garden Or Home

The Scottish branch of the G scale society visited the Strathspey Railway on Sunday 24th.October. I can recommend a visit and a meal on the train between Aviemore and Broomhill, AKA Glenbogle. Here is newly restored Caledonian Railway 828, our train engine, in action.

On my travels recently, this time in Germany during the last week in August. I visited the Rugen Railway, the Harz Railway, the suspension railway in Wupertal and in between used DB trains. Couple of pictures here with more to follow.

Harz railway, train arriving at Wernigerode pulled by one of the many 2-10-2T locos used on this metre gauge line.

This view shows the shed with several 2-10-2Ts getting up steam for the days work. I counted 9.

The HSB Yard at Wernigerode with two 0440Ts and a 2102T, all in steam beside the control tower.

Here's a very large local G scale railway
