About Us
Garden Railways is a website home for all who love working with large-scale trains — especially outside in gardens! Founded by Marc Horovitz in 1984, Garden Railways published regular issues until 2020 when it converted to a web-only presence on Trains.com. Now all of Garden Railways’ content is available via a Trains.com Unlimited membership.
Here’s just a selection of products we offer online:
Plant index
A library, a picture index, a useful catalogue — no matter what you call it, these articles are each devoted to one plant, shrub, or tree ideal to represent a living miniature of real life. Information includes size, range, and sunlight tolerance and includes at least one picture of the plant in question.
Product review videos
See before you buy! Watch as our staff pull-out of the box and play with locomotives, rolling-stock, and gadgets for the garden railroad.
Archives
Read our very first issue from 1982 — online. With a new website, we’re able to offer PDF-versions of our entire catalogue of regular issues.
