WELCOME!
This Group is for modellers of narrow gauge railways in the great outdoors whatever the scale or gauge. If you're seeking ideas and tips on gaining that element of realism from your railway, this is the place for you. Lots of friendly advice given, inspirational discussions and good ideas with some superb photo's of the finished results. We welcome modellers of all abilities who are looking to make realistic garden railways.

WHAT WE’RE ABOUT
We want to explore the scope for greater realism in our modelling. We believe that there is a lot of potential for reflecting real railway practice in the larger outdoor scales, and we believe that the aesthetic element is as important as the engineering.

This group is therefore dedicated to modelling rather than model engineering (other groups are available for that); experimentation and new thinking, whether concerning the trains themselves, structures and landscape, operation, or photography. We welcome speculative contributions as well as factual ones.

It should be mentioned that, these days, this is not a daily active group - people speak when they have something to say - but a good question will always receive a good answer, so do speak up!

Files and photo's are warmly welcomed. Please be tidy with your file management, though!
