Garden Railroad building.?

Question

This may be a weird question, but is it possible to build your own garden railroad equiptment? By equiptment, I mean engines and cars. I'm looking to build one in hte next tow to three years.

Answer 1

It is possible, but you can also get ready-to-run locos and rolling stock, e.g. 'G' scale, which is 1:32 with a track gauge of 45mm and corresponds to most narrow gauge railways.

For an introduction to 'G' scale, try this:

Answer 2

Of course it is possible but you would have to be quite good at fabricating and it would take a lot of time.

A better route to take might to buy unpainted car and locomotive kits.

You assemble them yourself and paint them in whatever theme you wish,

Much cheaper than buying ready to go equipment and you get the pride of knowing you did it yourself.

good luck with your project, sounds interesting.
