About the H&DLR

The H&DLR is a G Scale garden railway, mostly using LGB equipment, but the line also operates equipment from a number of other manufacturers. G Scale uses 45mm gauge track and a scale of 1:22.5 or thereabouts to represent narrow gauge trains. Some manufacturers use 1:20.3, and some (mainly American) models of standard gauge protoypes use a scale of 1:29. Locomotives on the H&DLR pick up power from the track in the conventional manner, although there are a couple of battery powered locomotives with radio control, and one live steam locomotive. Trains run all year round, and the track and buildings remain outside all the time. Rolling stock is kept indoors, either in a weather tight shed or in the house.

Operations are loosely based on UK railway practice, because I vaguely understand it, and Austrian protoypes, because I'm interested in Austrian narrow gauge railways.
