Big Train Tours: The Museum’s Outdoor Garden Railroad - The Denver Garden Railway Society!

[@popples4973]

I visited the RR museum in July 2022. It is an absolute piece of work. The staff is very friendly & knowledgeable. Besides the garden railroad, there is plenty to see & do. The ride on train that makes a complete loop is a wonderful experience. I've been a train nut my entire Boomer life & I recommend this place to rail fans of all ages . I plan on visiting again in 2024. Happy Rails to you 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃

At 9:23 minutes into this video is a photo of my garden railroad in Boone Iowa with D&RGW engine 455 pulling a short freight over a curved trestle. I am pleased that a photo of my railroad got into your video, but how did you get it? I have since moved to Altoona IA and reconstituted my railroad on a larger footprint with more track. Please let me know whom I may thank for submitting the photo to you.

The Garden Railway is quite cool. I would like to see it with some G scale trains running around it, when I come back to the Colorado Railroad Museum.

[@patricksheary2219]

A very beautiful layout with both electric and steam too amazing. I can’t wait to visit sometime! Thx for sharing and a great video!

Thanks for tuning in!

Just wish we could visit in person, been involved in Garden Railroads since 1995, currently just finished my 7th, this time in our retirement village. Best wishes from New Zealand.

Share a link to a video of your setup if you post one!

Very informative video - I love the old photos of the DGRS setup.

I think you miscounted the number of large-scale track loops. I only count six as one of the apparent loops actually crosses over itself so what appears to be two loops is actually just one; that is according to your diagram.

[@akaBoG]

I'll have to go count tomorrow - I'm not sure how many they've got set up at the moment.....

[@kevinbeverly4086]

I would really like to find HO scale models of RGS 20, D&RGW 346, and 491.

[@akaBoG]

I wish we were able to offer them for sale through the Depot General Store.....

Märklin is pronounced Mare-kleen

I don’t think g stands for garden. G is just the name of the gauge like O gauge Ho and N gauge

[@drewzero1]

I have usually heard that G comes from LGB where it is short for "groß" (or large). But the 45mm gauge is most accurately called 1 gauge, and the combination of 45mm gauge and ~1:22± scale is what is usually referred to as G scale.
