I love model trains.

If they didn't have model trains, they never would have got the idea for the big trains.

I have a fondness for them but haven't gotten around to exploring it except for the set (very basic) that goes with the Christmas village display that I put up for the holidays. I've been wanting to replace that with a nicer set.

Jackson LA. It's in Jackson. They do club meetings there maybe once and month and I think it's kind of a big deal.

New Orleans Train Garden at City Park
quote:

The Historic New Orleans Train Garden is one of the park’s hidden gems, tucked away in a vibrant, lush corner of the Botanical Garden. The train garden features typical New Orleans home and building architecture made with botanical materials, and replicas of streetcars and trains that wind around the track. Visitors walk along a pathway representing the water surrounding the city and “stops” along the track give brief histories of the neighborhoods and the train and streetcar lines that served them. As visitors walk they overlook 1300 feet of track carrying streetcars and trains like those that traveled the city in the late 1800s to the early 1900s, at 1/22 of their actual size.
