Ted's Pull-Out Plans in Garden Railways (1992-2005)

For more than 15 years Ted Stinson of Northeast Model Products has published pullout plans FREE in Garden Railways Magazine (The plans were stapled into the centerfold of the magazine.) until October 2006. At that time Garden Railways chose to stop printing the plans and began offering them for download on their Web site. Below is a list of plans published from 1992 through 2005. The links display models developed by builders from the plans. Some of these plans are still available through Sidestreet Bannerworks which keeps this list and updates photos of the resulting models.

  • To order to buy kits of some of these trains and structures visit Northeast Narrow Gauge.
  • To order to buy plans of some of these items visit Sidestreet Bannerworks.
  • Garden Railways magazine has message boards on its Web site where builders can discuss the plans.
