Accidents happen. Also on a garden railroad!!!!

Garden trains are heavy. A USAT passenger set of 8 streamliner cars weight 52 Kilo or 115 Pounds. Imagine wat happens when this train derails at speed and comes to a sudden stop against a rock!!!!


Thank you for coming to my web site! My site is regularly maintained. Always something new to discover.


    My streamliner set derailed at slow speed on a turnout. See wat hapened. I was lucky that the metal coupling at the USAT car held for a while.

    I became distracted in by a newspaper article. I came back to reality when i heard a cracking noice. To late!!!! My new hoppers got damaged at the underside of the cars.

    A hopper derailed at a turnout. This is what I found on the tracks.
