Trains are so much part of American history. Many of you may remember setting up a toy train under a Christmas tree, or perhaps having a more elaborate set up in the attic or basement of your home. Well, I learned that there are also train enthusiasts who set up in their yards! They also set up at some historical site events and public gardens. They are the SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RAILROAD SOCIETY
http://www.socalgrs.org/ They network with train enthusiasts all over - other states - even cold weather places - and have conventions. Just look at some of the photos here showing their work and you can see why having a model train set up in nature takes the hobby to a new level. South Coast Botonical Garden, the Santa Village in Mission Viejo - and who knows, maybe your own special event in your own back yard.
