Garden trains are
very popular in overseas gardens. They are easy to run, affordable and
fun.
The garden gauge rail consists of 45mm
gauge brass track, set on ultra violet safe PVC sleepers. To enhance
the realism the rail can be laid on a bed of fine screenings.
The locomotives run from a 240 volt power
control which is set up out of the weather. The power supply from the
controller is 18 volts and is quite safe in the garden. The most
economical way of delivering the power to the track, from the
controller, is by the use of 5 or 7 core trailer wire, (available from
our nursery).
Your garden becomes the scenery with
natural rocks, alpine plants and miniature bulbs offsetting a rather
nostalgic extension to the garden. Certainly a great way to get Dad and
the boys into the garden!
We supply German made LGB®
locomotives rolling stock and accessories of a very high standard of
workmanship. Ready to run Starter Sets range from around $500.00. A
Starter set is also available with “sound” for around $795.00
(component value of this set works out around $1450.00)
We also deal in American made models and
accessories in both Aristocraft and Bachmann brands.
With careful packaging and insurance the
train sets and accessories can be sent to your door by mail or ordered
and collected from our nursery by appointment.
From time to time we hold Train display
days at our nursery. (See open
garden page). These have become very popular and the opportunity
exists to see trains running in our outdoor train display.
Please do not hesitate to call should you
have any questions or would like to know when the next display is to be
held.
