Hello all!
I would like to make an outdoor layout with structures and animals set out 150 years ago. Not exactly like the picture, but close enough.

Model railroading anyone?
- Thread starter 2Bhumble
- Start date
It'll be awhile before I can post pics....
Anyway, I've actually got a plan of my dream layout of a 20x28" area. I drew it up years ago, but it's going to be some time before I ever find the room or money to carry that out.

Hello all!
Does anyone have good links to model railroad websites?
I know of one on burnsland.com
They have a discussion board and they have a thread about Disney model railroading.
A few people are building a Nature's Wonderland railroad with a western/desert theme and another guy has built a Disneyland themed garden railroad in his backyard.
His structures are based on the rides and architecture of Disneyland like the castle and Big Thunder Railroad.

I know Model Railroader magazine has a forum on their website. I registered there but never actually got involved at all.

Yeah it can get a bit pricey, especially in the locomotives. I must say that the quality has really improved and the old junky stuff is not out there much, which is good since that was probably one of the big obstacles for new people getting the hobby.
As far as other aspects, especially scenery and structures, with creativity these can be done quite cost-effectively if you want to.

Same here -- as does the space requirements. Our house isn't big enough now, and if we moved I don't know that I'd want to pay more for a house just to have more space to do it.

Depends what you want to do. I'd love to have big basement layout where I can run unit coal trains an such. As it is, all I have is a 7' by 8.5' space. Basically it will be a industrial switching layout. I just like to build something so I deal with the hand I've got.

Hello all!
How do we volunteer? I want to help people with a garden railroad layout, but I don't know how to go about it.

I too have a really small space, so I would love some advice on how to create something like this in a small set. My husband is interested in trains because his father loved model trains - and I'd love to surprise him
