Garden Rail - October 2026

 

Garden Rail - October 2026

This issue takes you behind the scenes of one of the most ambitious temporary garden railways ever built, the stunning BBC Gardeners’ World Live display created by Andrew Christie. We tell the story from transforming a car park into a gold award-winning railway garden, to keeping trains running for thousands of visitors. 

We're also heading to Scotland to visit Forest of Glee, a remarkable exhibition garden railway built for the Falkirk Model Railway Club show. Created indoors in November, complete with real flowers, and a fully operational railway, it's proof that garden railways can flourish anywhere with enough imagination. 

On the workbench: 

  • Testing Maxitrak's new Corris live steam locomotive 'Sir Haydn' 
  • Building a coal tub 
  • Painting people for beginners 
  • Engineers wagons
  • LGB's first kit-built wagon 
  • Developing an outdoor line 

Plus the latest products for modellers in larger scales. 

Garden Rail is available from all good newsagents, and our online store
