This is another excellent Blog Rik on how to start a Garden Railway. If like most of us, we tend to want to put a line in with out much thought, had looked at this, it would have at least given us some insight into what is involved with planning and running a great line.
I am only saying this because I came into model railways later in life. Only started 3 and half years ago with N Gauge and now 16mm/SM32 18 months ago. So if I had waited 10 years or more, I don't think I would be able to do half of what I do now.
Thanks Rik for an excellent Blog. It's worth anyone new or even experienced in garden railways to look at your Blog's. They give so much wealth of knowledge, that I will look at your Blogs and see if It will help me.

It's encouraging that feedback from relative newcomers is as positive as from those who have been in the hobby for many years.

Re: New blog post - planning a garden railway
We rarely hear mention of a helical main line which passes over itself at one point and has the advantage of doubling the length of run in a small area, so long as there is enough space for easy gradients. Very good features described for modellers who are keen but not sure how to plan.
