GABRIEL's GARDEN RAILWAY
Over the 21 years I have been promoting the Philippine railway hobby, I have seen many, many changes. Many have been great, others have unfortunately seen
me walk away for a while.
In more recent time, the railway modelling hobby has become a big thing there.
Even I have caught the bug, and slowly build up a collection of Philippine railway items in HO scale, for a possible future layout.
Recently, I saw some photos of Gabriel Gutierrez's layout built out in his garden.
I feel confident in saying that Gabriel has likely pioneered the garden railway in his country. I have seen a number of inside layouts, but I don't recall ever seeing outside one, something that is quite common elsewhere around the world.
It is an early start, but Gabriel is certainly taking on all the challenges that garden railways bring and, I for one, am excited to see it progresses.
It is an exciting time for the hobby.
I personally are working with a few possible heritage projects in the Philippines, while the idea of a railfan based retail outlet moves steadily closer to becoming a reality.
Here's to a great future, for a great hobby.
