Tom; I n keeping with my profile of having an opinion on everything, I have taken an intreset in what you had to say about the first person to have a garden model railway and I must say i don't think their was any one person; more several people in many countries doing their own thing. I have a book " The Garden Railway Manual" , written by Cyril J Freezer who from what I can glean came from West Yorkshire in England and he was doing it back in the thirties. Origonally with wind up engines and he refers back to others who were doing it much before that. I think one of the early European Kings had his own model railway. Cyril does time warps all the time and goes from modern times back to the thirties then back to modern times regularly However I got two good ideas from this book and if you get one good idea sometimes it is a bonus. 1) Using wire coathangers as reinforcment in cast concrete and tieng them together 2) make a little bridge that you can walk over to gain access and also use this as the roof of a tunnel. For Kim, he covers how high in this book quite well, he has a photo of his wife as a sweet young thing taken in 1955 so he must be older than me or as old poor ***. Does anyone else have any idea who or when the first Garden Railway/Railroad was perpertrated. Regards Ian; Kawana Island Tropical Railway.
