SUMMARY:PCR NMRA Layout Tour: Cascade Peak & Buena Vista Railway
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the 2025 Pacific Coast Region NMRA Convention\, the Cascade Peak & Buena Vista Railway will host an open day for enjoyment convention delegates. \nThe inspiration for our central California garden railway is the “Happiest Place On Earth.” Not one you might visit today\, but one you knew growing up – or might have known if plans had developed as intended. This freelance 2300 sq. ft. layout is sighted above a “counter height” retaining wall.  Denver and Rio Grande Western (LGB) rolling stock still operate under that historic herald on this tourist destination line.  As with most projects of this scope\, ours will never truly be finished\, but the Main Street Trolley (50 ft.)\, perimeter loop (365 ft.)\, and Mine Train around through Nature’s Wonderland (100 ft.) are now complete. We invite you to preview these lands\, in the hope you will return and share the excitement as our story unfolds. \nSee a detailed description of the Cascade Peak and Buena Vista Railway here.

SUMMARY:PCR NMRA Layout Tour: Longhorn Railroad
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the 2025 Pacific Coast Region NMRA Convention\, the Longhorn Railroad will host an open day for enjoyment convention delegates. \nThe Longhorn Railroad is named after our beloved pet Longhorn cow!  Tim has dreamed of building a G gauge railroad for over 30 years\, and finally\, that dream is coming to life. The railroad design is centered around fun and accessibility. We built elevated benchwork throughout to support the track. The layout includes a large main yard\, featuring a “Timesaver” switching puzzle\, as well as a 230-foot main line that loops around trees and the yard\, next to the shop and “Man Room”! Track power is available for visiting neighbors and friends to run their own trains; however\, we’re in the process of transitioning to RailPro control with power from onboard batteries. We are excited to expand the railroad over time – this is just the beginning!

SUMMARY:PCR NMRA Layout Tour: Monarch & Sand Railroad
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the 2025 Pacific Coast Region NMRA Convention\, the Monarch & Sand Railroad will host an open day for enjoyment convention delegates. \nLucinda and I welcome you to the M&SRR.  During your visit\, adults can enjoy our Airwire-controlled locomotives from our patios and our decomposed granite pathways while the consists circulate on 300 feet of track\, including a mainline\, a yard\, a loop\, a wye\, and an agricultural siding.  Children (without adult meddling!) can operate a locomotive and cars on our farm diorama\, giving cats\, cows\, and ducks rides around the farm.  We hope everyone will enjoy our circus diorama and our operating Western-Cullen-Hayes No. 333 Crossing Bell.  We look forward to your visit.  Full Disclosure: As railroads are in real life\, the M&SRR is subject to unpredictable toxic derailments\, especially frequent in the months following Fourth of July fireworks sales.

SUMMARY:CCCGRS Large Scale Model Train Display
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the 2025 Central Coast Railroad Festival\, the Central California Coast Garden Railroad Society will host a large scale model train display for enjoyment of the general public. \nThe Central California Coast Garden Railroad Society (CCCGRS) joins the festival hosts at the San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum operating a display of large-scale model trains suitable to run both in- and outdoors in your garden. These trains can operate with power from the track\, power from on-board batteries (just like your electric vehicle) or from steam. You can control these trains from a dedicated remote\, your mobile phone or even your computer. Look for whimsical “egg liners”\, a popular\, small railcar available in dozens of colors\, patterns and themes. Use your imagination to create your own custom railcar load with Lego building blocks to be transported on the rails! This is a great opportunity to learn more about the rewarding hobby of garden railroading from friendly people who share your passion for all things trains.

SUMMARY:Orcutt & Islay Creek Railroad
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the 2025 Central Coast Railroad Festival\, the Orcutt and Islay Creek Railroad will host an open day for enjoyment of the general public. \nThe Orcutt & Islay Creek Railroad in Santa Maria\, California is one of the longest\, continuous operating garden railroads on the central coast.

SUMMARY:Cascade Peak & Buena Vista Railway Open Day
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the 2026 Central Coast Railroad Festival\, the Cascade Peak and Buena Vista Railway will host an open day for enjoyment of the general public. \nThe inspiration for our central California garden railway is the “Happiest Place On Earth.” Not one you might visit today\, but one you knew growing up – or might have known if plans had developed as intended. This freelance 2300 sq. ft. layout is sighted above a “counter height” retaining wall.  Denver and Rio Grande Western (LGB) rolling stock still operate under that historic herald on this tourist destination line.  As with most projects of this scope\, ours will never truly be finished\, but the Main Street Trolley (50 ft.)\, perimeter loop (365 ft.)\, and Mine Train around through Nature’s Wonderland (100 ft.) are now complete. We invite you to preview these lands\, in the hope you will return and share the excitement as our story unfolds. \nSee a detailed description of the Cascade Peak and Buena Vista Railway here.

SUMMARY:Conejo & Tortuga Railroad Open Day
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the 2026 Central Coast Railroad Festival\, the Conejo and Tortuga Railroad will host an open day for enjoyment of the general public. \nThe Conejo and Tortuga Railroad is a free-lance designed layout of approximately 270 ft consisting of a large mountain and a distinctly mid 20’s western ghost town inspired by the movie “Rango”. The layout has recently undergone some major changes and additions such as the replacement of 10 feet of underground tunnel structure and addition of a spur line to a silver mine. The railroad is battery-powered only and operated using the Revolution 2.4GHz Train Engineer Transmitter and Revolution 2.4GHz On Board Receivers. All turnouts and turntable are hand operated. Welcome Aboard.

SUMMARY:Orcutt & Islay Creek Railroad Open Day
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the 2026 Central Coast Railroad Festival\, the Orcutt and Islay Creek Railroad will host an open day for enjoyment of the general public. \nThe Orcutt & Islay Creek Railroad in Santa Maria\, California is one of the longest\, continuous operating garden railroads on the central coast. This “could have happened” railroad is modeled in the spirit of the Pacific Coast Railway\, a 3-ft. narrow gauge railway that connected Port Hartford to Los Olivos via San Luis Obispo and other communities. The railroad is designed specifically to accommodate the unique needs of live steam locomotives and their consists. Thoughtful planning and construction allow easy roadbed and track maintenance\, and continuous accessibility to rolling stock in motion. Kit and kit-bashed structures are gradually being replaced with scratch-built features\, many of which include lighting and other effects.

SUMMARY:Mountain View Railroad Open Day
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the 2026 Central Coast Railroad Festival\, the Mountain View Railroad will host an open day for enjoyment of the general public. \nNestled in the Santa Ynez Valley\, with a sweeping vista of the Figueroa and Grass Mountains\, lies a garden railroad where working G-gauge model trains navigate through sculpted miniature forests to delight the child within. Meandering through the walkways surrounded by 700 dwarf Alberta spruce and redwood trees\, a visitor is transported into a Disneyesque environment with miniature trains making their way through forests\, over bridges\, by custom-built buildings and around a koi pond\, with whistles signaling their passage. Don has a life-size caboose\, which he built himself. It houses an authentic caboose seat\, which holds a huge\, serenading animatronic bear. In the garden stands a line shack that also was designed and built by Morgan with the help of his gardener. It is constructed out of uneven wood planks\, and it is a favorite spot for the Morgans to sit and take in the expansive view\, both of the mountains and of the garden railway. Trains are battery and track powered. Don has a railroad lamp and lantern collection plus an operating wigwag and Griswold crossing devices.
