Twelve Model Railways (1 Viewer)

[BLReed]

"From the choo-choo that goes around the Christmas tree to fanciful displays and seasonal train rides like The Polar Express, trains have long been associated with the holidays. For the ultimate locomotive experience, visit these massive model railways, which wind along miles of track through miniature recreations of scenery from around the world."

Interesting article. Thanks for sharing it.
I have just barely scratch the surface of Dad's train collection. I've got about 18 boxes full of trains.

I do have to visit this place one day in my life! The videos (I'm sure) don't do it justice.

For those living in the USA, should you visit San Diego you might want to stop by the model railroad display at Balboa Park. They have large Z, HO, and O guage layouts as well as a smaller tinplate setup. All but the latter have Southern California motifs that are awesome.
