- Garden Railroading Through the Years
The opening chapter introduces you to the fascinating, diverse, international world of garden railroading. Here, you'll learn about what the hobby is and where it came from, exploring roots that extend back more than a century and a quarter.
H.R. Howard's sophisticated 1/2"-scale, 2-1/2"-gauge garden railway in the late 1920s. All trains were beautifully scratchbuilt. This railroad was later rebuilt at the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds, where it existed until nearly the end of the 20th Century.
