      This is part of a very large model railroading display which has been built in the front and side yard of a home in the area. The actual size is what is called “G Scale” which means 1.75 inches (45mm) between the rails. G Scale is very popular for outdoor displays because of its size and durability.

      Here are a couple other images of this particular display:

  2. Wow that’s impressive.
    There is a miniature railway near me set in a gorgeous garden with stream, pond and bridges. My husbands old company donated the land in perpetuity for the modellers who built it all. It’s a delight in the heart of an area with supermarkets and hospitals etc!

      Model railroading is not a hobby that I participate in myself… but I am fascinated by the displays both large and small. Each year the Tucson Garden Railway Society holds an “open house” of sorts and invites the public to visit about a dozen homes in the area where these outdoor displays have been built. The displays we have visited have been awesome!

      1. It’s a great hobby if you are a keen engineer as many of my hubby’s friends are. But Tucson sounds amazing!
