The models are about four times larger than the most common model size and make their way along the tracks that wind around large parts of the plot and sometimes under the house. 

- I have been doing model railways for many, many years, but here in the garden it was probably twenty years since it started, says Lennart Lundgren.

He has long had a great interest in model railways and has also for several years worked at the Railway Museum in Gävle.

One builds, one runs

Today, both enthusiasts are retired and complement each other well because Lennart Lundgren is mostly interested in building and Pär Lindberg likes to drive the trains.

And sometimes the neighborhood kids show up to check what's going on.

- The children find it exciting when it moves.

But even when you grow up, I think everyone has a relationship with trains.

And construction will continue in the garden:

- A project like this will never be finished, says Lennart Lundgren.
