There will be other shows, spring is comming soon and it would be nice for you to see how a garden RR changes with the dead of winter changing to spring flowers.
Have your parents contact me, I have grandchildren thet really enjoy my RR.
I visited many rr's before I started and got a lot on info and ideas from other rr's.
Typo, Why not come and visit mine, you only have to catch a plane to LAX and then another to Brisbane and by car about 100 km north of there, say 10,000 km.
Seriously; if you like i will send you a few photos, my railway is very different to American ones. and most other Australian ones as well.

I am only a kid (13) so this is why I am not going to share where I live excactly. I am already into model railroading so this isnt to new. I own a few O gauge trains from Lionel, such as:
The Big Boy(I think made in 2003?)
Daylight
Acela
GG1
And another steam engine but forgot what it was called, it was a Pennsylvania.....and was I heard one of the last steam engines made (in real life)
Superliner
I think thats it. I have seen a few Garden Railroads on the internet and have asked my parents if they would be willing to help me. They told me we could get started this year but i should meet a few garden railroaders in person before i get started. Thank you guys for you replies. Also, I will see if I can make it to the train show, but I think I will be skiing. Thanks again!

Typo, my RR is open to guests/visitors and I live 30 miles south west of Boston.
There is a train show in Foxboro this Sunday the 25th of Feb. (rail a rama), I will attend this show and there may be several other large scalers there.
I will be there before noon, show hours are 10-4 and the fee is $4.
I live only 20 minutes south of this show.
This site has a link to this and other train shows.
I will be wondering around wearing a badge with my name Dan Pierce.
PS, your profile has no info for contacting you or where you live.
Hi,
You can find a list of clubs here. Often, members will allow newcomers/visitors to see their railway: http://www.gardentrains.org/gta/community/clubs/clubs.asp
