The layouts will be open and operating from 10 AM to 4 PM on Saturday and Sunday, June 28th and 29th. We are located at 645 Loring Ave., Crockett, CA, across the street from C & H Sugar, off I-80. We are on the second and third floors. There is a $5 donation for adults, kids under 16 are free.
The Carquinez Toy Train Operating Museum's layout is a beautiful brand new layout built in the past two years. They operate Lionel, American Flyer, third rail and tinplate trains on two levels. Anyone who has ever had a toy trains running around their Christmas tree is going to want to see this layout.
The Carquinez Model Railroad Society operates a three level HO scale layout representing the Southern Pacific Railroad line from Oakland to Sparks. The layout features an 11' model of the Benicia Martinez Railroad Bridge, C & H Sugar Refinery, the Davis passenger station and the town of Colfax. Visitors and train operators walk along with the trains throughout the whole layout.
