NICOLAS TRUDGIAN

Author Nicolas Trudgian’s professional artistic skills, his acquired expertise in garden scale civil engineering, his love of landscape and innate feel for things mechanical has driven the construction of this expansive garden railway tour de force. The Southern Cross Railway draws its inspiration from many different steam powered railways across the world and the line itself employs both steam and electric motive power. Within these pages are sections on layout design, permanent way construction, track laying, landscaping, tunnels, bridges, water features and planting. The resulting garden railway is therefore a credible combination of art, engineering and experience that all of us, whatever our preferred garden scale, can draw on when turning the pages of this thoroughly engaging, imaginative and instructive book.
