OO Gauge Garden Railway Links |
Much of the inspiration for my
own garden railway came from looking at what others had done
with theirs and so here I offer a list of links to websites of
interest with a brief outline of what each contains. To begin
with, here are some of my favourites; more will be added in due
course.
GARDEN RAILWAYS
Heatherburn Garden Railway
One of the best examples of an OO gauge garden railway available
at the present time. Full of ideas and inspiration and shows
exactly what you can do with OO gauge models in the great
outdoors. Loads of photographs taken at all stages of
construction and some very nice videos.
Sutherland
Steam Railway
I quite enjoyed this site despite the annoying advertisements
which pop up every time you visit the home page. It's tongue in
cheek but there has obviously been a lot of thought and effort
put into it and it is quite clearly a labour of love. Lots of
photos and videos of trains in action.
Taw Vale Garden Railway (domain recently expired)
The Taw Vale Garden Railway is not operational at the present
time but it is one of the forerunner's of contemporary OO gauge
garden railways. The website is still available and contains a
wealth of information relating to garden railways and currently
hosts updates and progress relating to several other garden
railway layouts.
MODEL RAILWAY FORUMS
There are several very good online forums dedicated to model
railways and the ones listed below are those I visit most
regularly.
Model Rail Forum
An interesting collection of layouts and articles dedicated to
all areas of railway modelling catering for in excess of 5,900
registered members.
New Railway Modellers
An ideal forum for those people just starting out with a model
railway. Over 5,600 registered members listed.
Railwayz.co.uk (domain recently expired)
The home of the Taw Vale Garden Railway (as listed above). Only
187 registered members and updated very infrequently but still
contains a host of interesting articles and layouts.
RMweb
With more than 8,100 registered members RMweb has a more 'advanced
modeller' feel to it but still caters for newcomers to the hobby
as well. This is a lively and very active forum. |
