TUCSON, AZ (KOLD) – All aboard! There’s something special about trains especially miniature locomotives. Just ask Willis Fagg, VP of the Tucson Garden Railway Society, “most little kids like trains and some people never grow up,” he says with a chuckle.
Tucson Garden Railway Society is holding its annual holiday-themed model train show Tuesday through Thursday at the VA Medical Center on South Sixth Avenue.
The event, open to the public, features replicas spanning more than 100 years of railroad history, “we’ve got a lot of different scenery modules, from Indian villages to Mexican villages, and a town module with trolleys and we’ll be running steam and diesel engines,” explains Fagg.
The show runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, and 9 a.m. to noon Thursday in the VA’s auditorium.
