"The Garden Railway" television series by Mark Found

On YouTube there are a lot of video's about garden railways. Some better than others.

A very interesting series of videos in my opinion is "The Garden Railway" made by Mark Found for broadcasting on television on the Discovery Channel. I believe it actually came out on DVD in 2001 as well. It can be considered a real classic by now!

In 15 episodes from about 23 minutes each it describes the build of a garden railway from start to finish in a clear and often funny way of presentation. It is an introduction to the hobby which mention most basic steps of building a layout and what techniques can be used.

In each episode garden railways from other modellers are visited which provide some beautiful scenes and a lot of inspiration.
