The Little Orchard Railway

The best place to start is by joining your local model engineering society.  This is mine.

The best national society to join for the 7¼" gauge, with - sales and wants, news and a question and answer forum. Plus the opportunity to visit other railways, the AGM has been at some of this countries (and now Belgiums) best 7¼" railways.  After your local miniature railway society this should be the next thing to join.

The quarterly magazine is worth the subscription alone.  We had an article about us in the Autumn 2008 edition!

I believe you can get a back number from them.

Some sites which

will let you link to

the best of

railway web sites

The Home Railway Journal is an excellent magazine for all of us interested in miniature railways, but is also probably the only magazine dedicated to building your railway in the garden and there is an article about the LOR in the Autumn edition so go right

ahead and order your back copy now, we were on the front cover!

links to sites all over the world, also they are such nice people.

I used to say

"Who knows,

one day we may be on their listing!"

                  - and now we are!!

For all your model engineering needs, local societies, lost models, discussions, help, books, videos and so much more just try it.

This is an excellent website to help organise your visits to railways all over the UK

It occurred to me that I should thank Bill Gates and everyone at Microsoft for their help, by giving me a free domain and website

and an easy programme that has enabled me to write my own web site.

Something I have never done before and they have made it so easy. 

Why not give it a go yourself?
