[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by KevinGraham First time on the site...like others a newcomer. Am about to swap from HO which never got started to Garden which will get started. Have a small property..19 acres in SW Western Australia...getting close to retirement and this is to be a toy for me. Plan to purchase LGB Kit 74255 as a starter and have allocated 1/2 acre to landscape and track and then watch the track grows.... and the bank account diminish. My wife is supportive so here goes. Would welcome any input or suggestions. [/quote] I'm new too. Found this forum yesterday. Looks like there are a lot of folks in Garden RR down under. I suspect there are clubs. That's the best way I know to get started. I suggest trying to have your wife be active in the hobby. I'm a woman model railroader and have been volunteer at 1:1 railroad museum. Many women enjoy this hobby. A lot of them are involved in garden railroads. Some only for the garden, which is a big help, but many others take a big interest in the railroad portion. If she is interested in history you have a good start already. If she does crafting or sewing she has skills that could be expanded to use on the railroad. Look for garden railroads to visit or shows/conventions to attend.
