On 23 August 2014 I visited the Millstone Garden Railway in Mill, Noord Brabant, The Netherlands. It is a huge layout and driving a full circle took me 5 minutes.

That sounds a very good place to visit, and thank you for the photos.

That looks amazing! The bridge and the miniature surroundings... I'd certainly like to visit this place one day.

The layout is privately owned and is not open for public. I have made an appointment with the owner to visit his garden layout. All the bridges are made from aluminium profiles, one is from LGB and there is one bridge made from concrete. The miniature electrical poles are working and are used to light the houses and lanterns. Houses are from Pola, Piko, Playmobil or made from concrete. Some houses and pedestrian bridges are made from wood, but these will be replaced. It is difficult to protect them against the weather. The track layout is simple: it is a single line track with three passing loops and one small industrial yard. Sometimes the owner uses his live-steam locomotive to run over the tracks.

First run outside this year, on the garden of our camping site.

Schaut mindestens so gut wie die Bilder oben aus, Euer Garten! As good as the layout shown before, I'd say!
