Garden railways combine the hobbies of gardening and model railroading.
Garden railroads first appeared in Europe in the mid-1800s and were simply model trains outdoors, a novelty of the well-to-do. In the late 1960s, Lehmann Gross Bahn (LGB) began manufacturing trains designed for outdoor use and introduced garden outdoor railroading. The hobby has expanded to countries around the world.
