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.

Our Aim- A real railway in miniature: realistic operation of realistic trains in a realistic landscape.
