About

This site features my garden railway the Pine Valley Estate Railway which is built in the scale of 1:13.7 or 7/8ths of an inch to the foot. The trains run on 45mm track representing a 2 foot gauge railway. The line is fictional and is a colonial railway that takes elements from New Zealand bush tramways, Australian cane railways and anything that takes my fancy.

In the small scale division my sons and I are building an HO scale layout representing New Zealand Railways.

The blog will also cover various interests including model railway projects, railway signalling equipment and electronics.

Please post comments, questions, and suggestions and keep checking in to see the latest progress and news.
