I'm a landscape designer and builder who specializes in high end waterfall garden ponds and I wi***o incorparate a garden railroad into a garden pond I am designing. I need as much help as anyone is willing to give me. What manufacturers do you railroad pros recommend? What scale do you perfer? 1:22 or 1:29? I noticed that the train locos. have 3 #s such as 2-8-2 ...what do these numbers mean? I want a high quality durable train with good details requiring little maintanence. I am planning on building a pond display at a local garden center and want to promote garden railroading at the same time. The layout I plan to begin with must be simple. A continuous loop of track that will go thru a tunnel behind the waterfall and a bridge over a corner of the pond. Who makes the best trains for the money with good details? I don't know where to start. The area I have for a railroad is about 25'x25'x25' in a triangular shape. Any suggestions on a transformer? Can I do this for under $2,000.00 HELP ME get started please. I've been wanting to get into garden trains for years and now is the time to finally do it, I just need to be pointed in the right direction. Thanks Paul2
