Sounds great. For those in Canada, though, this could be a problem. I don't recall the DIY network as being one of our channel options. Any idea if this would air outside of the States on an equivalent channel?

Interestingly enough it was the 15 part television series on the Discovery Channel – ‘Garden Railways’ that got me started. I doubt that the style and presentation would go down well with a US or Canadian audience -as it was full of 'English style' humour.

After the first episode I turned to my wife, looked at her, and she said "yes".

I hope that this series makes a few more converts!!!

Thanks PIERCEDAN time left to find my channel guide


I found it the old fashion way, channel surffing, my channel # is 204. When i figure out ( again ) how to add it to fav key on my remote it will be a done deal

DIY channel is shown on Foxtel in Australia, at present they are building a HO Railway. I am hoping they follow with the Garden Railway series.
