Garden railways are what we do. Indeed GardenRail is the only British magazine covering all aspects of outdoor model railways, and the only related magazine worldwide, that publishes monthly. Appearing regularly twelve times a year, it thus provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview, not only of the developments within the model trade, but also the seasonal joys of the garden.
 
More and more people are recognising that building a model railway in the garden is one of the most satisfying and diverse hobbies it is possible to find. An outdoor railway in a pleasing garden setting can be an activity involving all the family, as well as a joy to contemplate. Sheer delight is provided by the sight, sound and smell of a ‘live’ steam engine trundling through the rockery; a train at night, lights in coaches, gliding to a halt at a station platform; or a diesel locomotive, complete with sound unit, working hard against the grade at the head of a long freight…
 
Garden Rail is aimed at established ‘converts’ to the hobby, as well as those yet to desert their indoor layouts and discover the real potential of large-scale modelling in an outdoor setting.
