Members of the Coast Toy Train Club devoted hours to setting up an intricate display of toy trains for our residents’ enjoyment! The trains exhibited included models of various gauges and ages. We got to see the trains in action, running through villages of tiny, realistic buildings.
The members also gave a presentation explaining each train in the display. Our residents shared their own interesting personal experiences riding trains or about family members who worked on the railroad.
This table operated Standard-Gauge trains owned by Ken Kelley. Much of what was shown on the table was 90 to over 100 years of age.
