Ray,
The Newsletter & Journal (NLJ) of the Gauge One Model Railway Association

I subscribe to both Steam in the Garden and Garden Railroad Magazines. Ive seen
some discussion from this group on G1MRA; I was wondering what other members think
of these publications.
My impression is that Garden Railroad has little information on live steam and is

I have just uploaded MANY back issues of Steam in the
Garden, early Garden Railways, Finelines and other narrow
gauge and live steam magazines and books on eBay. If you
