SUMMARY:A & M Railroad Train Run
DESCRIPTION:Mark and Sheila Goodman have extended an invitation to the A & M Railroad in scenic Orcutt. This local favorite backyard large scale layout bring the trains up close and personal. \nThe A & M Railroad consists of two separate large-scale layouts. The original layout has been reconfigured into an 80-ft. oval featured in the center of the garden. In 2021\, following 16 months of construction\, the new 193-ft. triple main line was completed. This impressive layout is raised 30 inches from ground level for ease of operation and viewing. All three lines cross an arch top drawbridge allowing operators to access the center of the layout. Kit and kit-bashed structures\, details and figures are distributed throughout creating unique scenes to delight visitors. \nFor this Train Run event\, guests are encouraged to bring their live steam and battery powered large scale trains to operate.

SUMMARY:Arroyo Grande Valley Railroad Train Run
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Arroyo Grande Valley Railroad\, one of the newest garden railroads on the central coast. This folded dogbone layout includes over 350 feet of mainline with 4-foot minimum radius curves and a maximum 3% grade supported on a “ladder-style” roadbed. Custom crafted cliffs and rock faces artistically create a natural backdrop\, while drought tolerant plants fill the scene. Future additions will include the Village of Arroyo Grande\, along with mining and petroleum industries. Chuck and Judith have visited countless garden railroads\, attended workshops and invested years planning this “model railroad for the garden.” They are eager to share with visitors how they incorporated a garden railroad into their central coast landscape.

SUMMARY:Mountain View Railroad Train Run
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special train run in the Santa Ynez Valley\, with a sweeping vista of the Figueroa and Grass Mountains\, at the Mountain View Railroad – 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 to sit and take in the expansive view\, both of the mountains and of the garden railway. Don has a railroad lamp and lantern collection plus an operating wigwag and Griswold crossing devices. \nMembers are encouraged to bring both battery and track powered trains for this event. Guests should bring a lunch to enjoy and a dessert to share with others. Water and other drinks will be provided for your enjoyment. \nRead more about Don Morgan’s Mountain View Railroad 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: 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:Jackson & Valle Vista Railway Open Day
DESCRIPTION:Tucked in the tiny Valle Vista trailer park is the Jackson and Valle Vista railway. A fictional high desert / Sierra narrow gauge railway built on a low budget consisting of used equipment purchased from other narration railroads. The JVVry has approximately 120 ft of main line “loop”\, due to its unique shape it seems larger. The Jackson and Valle Vista railway services McDonough to the north and Jackson to the south as well as points between. Each town has sidings as well as storage track. The railway has four simple bridges and one tunnel. Structures include a handmade two stall engine house\, freight house and platform as well as some of the “usual” plastic buildings. You’ll also see a few of the locals out and about. Hope you enjoy!
