Garden Railways, The Magazine

Garden Railways is a newer magazine publication from Kalmbach Publishing. For all of you gardeners out there perhaps interested in spicing up the look of your landscaping, the addition of a railway is certainly one way to do it! Also, the magazine is good resource guide for current garden railway aficionados, helping you to improve the overall look, design, or just operation of your layout.

There is certainly no question that outdoor railways offer a unique challenge in the hobby of model railroading. Not only do you have Mother Nature to contend with but also the question of how to design your garden to include a railway within it. If you are completely new to the hobby but would like to get started the magazine is certainly a great guide in doing so giving you plenty of tips and tricks and other useful information.

Here is an idea of what you can typically find in an issue of Garden Railways:

* Featured Layouts: As in Model Railroader this section features some of the best garden railways in the country.

* Product Reviews: Reviews various garden railway products

* Hobby News: As with product reviews this section covers information happening within the garden railway hobby.

* Product News: Also similar to product reviews this section covers new products either available or to be released.

* Pullout Plans: Every issue typically has plans included within the magazine for a certain building or structure you can custom-build to include on your railway.

* Tips & Tricks: Offers various tips and ideas you can integrate into your railway.

In all, while I have never built a garden railway of my own (yet anyway!), I have purchased a few copies of the magazine over the years and was impressed by the detailed information included. They honestly help you as much with your garden, as far as what types of plants to include, as with the layout itself.

If you are interested in purchasing a subscription to the magazine please visit the link below. This will take you to ordering information (through Amazon.com) where you can also learn more about the magazine (as always, if you need any help or have any questions about the ordering process please feel free to get in touch at any time). However, before you do so, you may want to either purchase or at least peruse through a copy of the magazine to be sure that it is worth your investment. Almost all large newsstands and bookstores carry Garden Railways so you shouldn't have any trouble finding a copy.
