Kids love trains. Adults love trains. These two rules are known for many years, confirmed that every year the huge demand for such entertainment. It is no secret. for many a trip to the South by train is more comfortable than on the plane. A lot of people walking around with the kids to watch trains, and train modelers spend millions for beautiful layouts.

The most serious fun, bordering on the serious work of children's railway. Desiatich such roads were built in the Soviet Union and the closest to the capital, located in Kratovo. This year she worked 80 th year!

Kratovo is a small village between Zhukovsky and Ramensky. Here in the forest is a narrow-gauge line, one end of which is located in the nearby town of Zhukovsky near the train platform Rest. This station bears the name of Youth. Historically called "Lenin&quotбыл Way; why here and the monument to the leader of the people.
