"Home of
G Scale Trains for the Garden"
|
Our
nursery is situated in the Dandenongs, east of Melbourne. We supply
plants, bulbs and trains for the garden by mail order.
Stock may also be viewed any time at our nursery, by arrangement.
Garden
Trains are very popular in overseas gardens.
They are easy to run, affordable and fun.
The
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
in either the garage or a shed with power available. 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,
rockery plants and miniature bulbs enhancing a rather nostalgic
extension to the garden. Certainly a
great way to get Dad and the boys into the garden!
For
us,
the idea of a train running through the garden
landscaped with living miniature plants, natural rock features, and
real water is most appealing.
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 $480.00. Several Starter sets are
also available with real locomotive sound for around $781.00 (component
value of
this set works out around $1350.00) a great saving.
We also deal in American made models and
accessories
in both Aristocraft and Bachmann
brands.
From time to time we hold "Train days"
at
our
nursery where you can enjoy our outdoor train display and gardenTo
