MY LATEST DIORAMA -  Click on the photo 

Hi! My name is Laurie Green, and I live just out of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. My passions in the hobby of model railroading are the ‘Rio Grande Southern’ narrow gauge railroad that once existed in south western Colorado, and modeling logging, with it's Shays and Climax's struggling on steep grades with their loads of logs destined for the saw mill, and especially building model structure dioramas. All these I build in 'O' scale.

This passion has enabled me to meet many people who are now life long friends and to travel to the United States, and especially to Colorado to see, ride and touch the remains of the narrow gauge railroads there. My greatest thrill was to ride in an original D.& R.G.W. caboose over Cumbres Pass on a freight special.

Over the 45 years that I have been involved in this hobby I have learnt so much from so many people and I hope, through this web site, to pass on some of this knowledge that I have acquired onto you. 

I have also been fortunate to be awarded a National Model Railroad Association Master Modeller Award, for which I am very proud of.
