Fun for all ages at this event.... also great for sketching & photo reference! Plus the October date means many of the model train owners bring their Halloween decor (also to scale!).
This event is held at the South Coast Botanic Gardens on Crenshaw Blvd, just south of PCH and only a few miles from our Torrance showroom. Admission fee to the Garden includes the Train Show. Most of the elaborate scale model trains are set-up inside a building... but some of the trains are outside in the garden.

Once inside, there are lovely paths to wander ...
The botanic garden is not a park... but there are some gardens set aside for kids to discover..
It's a charming place to visit to enjoy the views and lush landscaping...
The walking paths are wide and wheelchair accessible... though there are hills and some rough patches...
Lots of color and majesty....
This patio near the entrance takes you to the train show....
You'll quickly feel like you're lost in time and space....
Adventure awaits!
Be sure to look closely...
You wouldn't want to miss the mermaid sunning herself on the rocks :)
The main auditorium has 3 rooms of train set-ups...
Model trains in various scales are represented...
Photography is welcome... Great practice for catching action shots!
