If you are visiting the Garden Railroad during the 2026 LA County Fair, be sure to look out for these new additions or upgrades:
A NEW WALKWAY As detailed in our earlier blog posts, our new TREX walkway is completed providing a smooth, safe route for our visitors. As a thank you to TREX, we created our own rail cars featuring this product!
CELEBRATING ROUTE 66 We are on board for the celebration of ‘The Mother Road’ this year! This sign encourages visitors to look out for specific Route 66 scenes on our layout!
A NEW CRAFT FAIR has been created in front of our Mini-Mall. Look closely and you will see the incredible details of each booth, most of which were hand made!
REFINERY UPGRADE If you think the refinery was detailed before, check it out now! New details such as an entrance area, new signage, and new oil tank cars have been added as well as a 3D printed switching locomotive. Be sure to check it out at night as many more LED lights have been added to make it stand out!
THE RV PARK has been completely overhauled! The entire area was cleaned out and old gravel and weeds were removed. New concrete roads were formed and poured and electrical wiring for each trailer was checked and repaired. Finally, a decorative rock named ‘California Gold’ was installed giving a clean look to the park. It makes you want to buy an RV and hit the road!
