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:Monarch & Sand Railroad Train Run
DESCRIPTION:Children can appreciate the M&SRR while they happily play with livestock and tractors in our farm diorama and with clowns and attractions in our circus diorama. (They will not be allowed to play in our planned toxic derailment diorama.) Adults can enjoy our Airwire-controlled locomotives from walkways or from our patio\, as the trains circulate on 300 ft. of track\, consisting of a mainline\, a yard\, a loop\, a wye\, and an agricultural siding. Listen for our Western-Cullen-Hayes No. 333 Crossing Bell! Watch the M&SRR High Flyer! Note: Our recently landscaped yard features decomposed granite paths. Anyone needing to avoid them can come through our house. There are no steps. We look forward to seeing you! \nSee a detailed description of the MNL Railroad here.

SUMMARY:Arroyo Grande Valley Railroad Train Run
DESCRIPTION:Welcome back to the Arroyo Grande Valley Railroad. 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.
