Does your garden include engines, rolling stock, turntable pits and switchstands? When you visit a garden centre, do you ignore the towering magnolias and mophead hydrangeas in favour of plants with tiny leaves and miniature flowers? If so says C. W. Cameron of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, you are one of a growing group of gardening hobbyists who have their own magazine – Garden Railways – and their own society, the Garden Railway Association with regional and national conventions.
Model railways outside of the United States that is, where they are railroads. Most of Canada also but once across the ranges of the Rockies, they once again revert to garden railways. For example, British Columbia has the Vancouver Island Model Railway Club and Greater Vancouver Garden Railway Club.
