This is my second making blog which will feature a 1/32 scale garden railway.

My first blog, hansbromwich.blogspot.co.uk features my 1/32 scale RC Tug Project.

The garden railway will circumnavigate this pond and will be largely based on Marklin Spur 1 rolling stock, locomotives and control gear.
