E-mail group for general discussion on topics to do with modelling narrow gauge in the garden generally in 16mm scale

We want to explore the scope for greater realism in our modelling. We believe that there is lots of potential for reflecting real railway practice in the larger outdoor scales. This group is dedicated to experimentation and new thinking, whether concerning the trains themselves, structures and landscape, operation, or photography. We hope that discussions will be about developing new techniques, sharing best practice and furthering realistic modelling outdoors.

The local group to which I belong down here in the Kingdom of Kent. If you live locally you are assured of a warm welcome both at indoor and garden meets.

The railway is a Sm32, 16mm Narrow Gauge line situated in Cornwall near the Helford River.

The railway is modelled in 16mm to the foot scale, running on 32mm gauge track. The intention is to represent a typical Welsh narrow (2 foot) gauge railway, conveying slate from the quarry at Nant Gorris to the small quayside at Porthcoed.
