Welcome to New Zealand Garden Railways (NZGR)

 Your home for finely detailed New Zealand railway models, designed to be enjoyed both indoors and outdoors. Our range is built for enthusiasts who value accuracy, durability, and the pleasure of running truly New Zealand–inspired models. 

All our models are produced at 1:24 scale and operate on standard G gauge (45 mm) track, making them ideal for garden railways and large-scale layouts. 

Designed by Modellers, for Modellers 

Our models are developed in collaboration with respected New Zealand railway modellers and are based on original NZR drawings wherever possible. Working at 1:24 scale allows us to capture fine detail and accurate proportions without the compromises often required at smaller scales. 
We use a mix of modern and traditional manufacturing techniques, including: 

  • High-quality 3D printing 
  • Precision laser-cut plywood and MDF 
  • Real concrete details for features such as station platform edges 

The result is a range of robust, highly detailed models built to last — even in outdoor environments.
