In the past, ride on "live steam scale, or 7.5 inch track garden trains were cost prohibitive for most budgets. However, by using pvc track, scooter electric motors for engines, and flanged roller skate wheels, the trains become affordable. Typical costs are $1 per foot for track, $300 for engines, and $60 for rolling stock cars. So if you are inspired to build a garden railroad, why not make it a “ride on” backyard railroad for your children, grandchildren or yourself. Only basic woodworking skills are required. Go to www.rideongardenrailroad.com, or www.gardentrains.datadistillers.org for detailed construction instructions, parts lists, and costs.
