Garden Railroading
Garden railroading, as the name implies, models railroading outdoors.
While some modelers have indoor layouts, most prefer to build their miniature railways in specially prepared gardens. The trains are large, usually 1/22 to1/32 inch to the foot. One twenty-fourth 1/24) scale is the size of most modem car kits. The track is large and is built to withstand the elements as it stays outside all year-round. Buildings and accessories can be built to stay outdoors or can be brought in during the winter months. While trains should be stored indoors, they are designed to operate in the elements, even during rain and snow. Engines can be powered by battery, electricity and live steam.
