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!

SUMMARY:Large Scale Model Train Display
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the 2024 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.

SUMMARY:Cascade Peak & Buena Vista Railway Open Day
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the 2024 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 2024 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: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. \nThe Goodman’s will generously provide snacks\, dessert and drinks.
