From a simple circle of track around a lake of model yachts, The Garden Railroad has evolved and grown over the past 100 years. During the 2024 LA County Fair and for the following year, visitors to our exhibit will see a timeline of posters showing how the layout looked during each decade. Before entering, don’t miss our one-of-a-kind ‘birthday cake’ – an outdoor birthday cake with trains of each scale operating at each level. Some of the original trains from the early days of the layout will also be operating on a special lower level. More of the original trains in 1/2” scale will also be on display in our Train Display Case, located in our patio area. Finally, you will have a selection of souvenirs available for a suitable donation. We hope to see you there! The celebration and related displays will be continued through the 2025 LA County Fair.
