For more than 35 years, Garden Railways was the leading magazine in the United States devoted to outdoor model railroading. Unfortunately, the Fall 2020 issue was the last one published. The magazine will be sorely missed.

Steam in the Garden provides hobbyists with do-it-yourself building guides, locomotive and rolling stock reviews, coverage of local and national stamps, live steam history, tips and tricks and generally kept the North American live-steam community bound together.  

Established in 1988, the Bay Area Garden Railway Society is one of the oldest and largest regional garden railway clubs in the nation. The club aims to help new garden railroaders find the help they need to enjoy the hobby.

Founded in 1956 by a group of train enthusiasts, LALSRM educates the public in railroad history and shows live steam, gas-mechanical, and electric railroad technology in actual operation.

The Rose City Garden Railway Society of Portland, Oregon promotes and practices the hobby of Garden Railroading. 

LGB is the most popular garden railway brand in Europe. Their models are also found on many garden railroads in North America and other parts of the world. The company was the first to popularize large scale outdoor model railroading in the late 1960s. 

Since 1994, Accucraft Trains has produced high quality live steam and electric model trains for collectors and hobbyists of many scales. In addition to its line of American models, they manufacture trains from the UK, Germany, Australia, and Japan.
