Talk:Children's railway

Children's Railway existed only in East Germany

I have deleted a link to a 15inch park-railway in Stuttgart. Children's railway operated by boy/girl-scouts, as defined in this article, were common only in east Germany. In western Germany, many events with and for children were and are held, but not to this extent, when children were tought to operate a whole railway. This seems to be really a specialty of eastern Europe.

First Children's Railway

There seems to be some debate about the first Children's Railway. This site[1] lists the 1932 date for Gorky Park, but also includes a comment at the top of the page: "The data listed below can be not actual." Elsewhere on the site[2], Tbilisi Georgia's railway is described as the first.

On the other hand, the Russian site[3] says the following, thanks to google translate: "Now in Moscow itself is not the children's railway (the closest - Little Moscow - located forty kilometers from Moscow, in the village of Kratovo). But this is - now and in the 1930s children's railway in Moscow was. Moreover, it opened in 1932, that is, three years ahead of Tbilisi DSB, which in the conventional chronology of children's railway is considered as the first. And besides - the road was to the same and electrified! On the line cruised homemade trehvagonny train, who received power from the catenary. The average car electric motor was, and both head - trailed. What was designed and built this structure is now very difficult to establish, but we assume that the pioneers built it Podlipki Moscow railway station site."

So it seems Gorky park likely is the first. - TheMightyQuill (talk) 12:28, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
