I had a chance back in March to visit the Gadsden-Pacific Toy Train Operating Museum, something of a hidden gem here in Tucson. As an avid model railroader myself, I’d long wanted to get there and finally had the perfect excuse when the photography club I belong to organized a field trip to facility. It was a marvelous morning spent among an impressive collection of layouts representing just about every scale available. To my great surprise, they also had original rolling stock dating back to the dawn of the hobby — all in nearly pristine shape as they swiftly road the rails for our amusement.

I’m going to use the rest of this entry to post some of my favorite photos from the trip and keep the commentary to a minimum; the artistry on display truly needs no augmentation, in my opinion. Enjoy.
