I am interested in starting a garden railroad. How do you get started?

Wondering about track layouts, weatherizing your layout, g scale trains, etc.

Go down to your local hobby shop and pick up a copy of the magazine Garden Railways. While you are there look or ask if they have any good starter sets. You can usually get a decent starter set reasonably cheap. A good brand to look for is Aristo-Craft. There is also a book that should be in the hobby shop called Getting Started in Garden Railroading. It tells you the ends and outs of laying the roadbed and wiring up the track etc. There are several options you can go with in garden railroads. I like those live steamers, but they are rather pricey.

It's a good idea to figure out how you want you train to run, ( turns, cut offs, etc.) then plan beds, bridges, tunnels for it. Look for a hobby store near by that deals in trains, also there's some good magazines at book stores about outdoor trains in particular.
