i would like to build a railway in the garden, but if i do i want to build something i can ride on, this is not going to happen for a while, but i would like to larn more about it. i plan to run no live steam ( ill go broke on 1 locomotive! ) just electric and small gas locomotives. does anyone have some personal knowlage about this subject or any good related links to buy equipment or how to build one?
It looks like a lot of fun if you have the room for the track. Warren Mumpower over on large scale central built himself a box cab and flat car to ride on. He has a friend with a track. I’m sure he could help you out.

Fr Finelli’s site has a LOT of info, plus a large links and suppier’s page. http://www.steamingpriest.com
I had hoped (fondly) that my new house and back garden would have room for these…
But my wife put her foot down and insisted that any locomotive or rolling stock only required one person to lift it!!!

Cabbage, what about one person driving a lift? [:-^]
ive looked at that boxcab before it was nice, but, man the price tag! ill build one my self for that price!
altho the box cab is fairly light i belive there might be a soloution to your problem there.
