Rene:

You might want to edit you page with the URL for Andersons Nursery.

With advance notice you can bring your own trains to run on their layout. (open tracks Wed~Fri)

Fairplex in Pomona and Living Desert in Indio are perhaps the the most "open" on a regular basis, check with them prior to find out their hours of operation.

My brother is really interested in touring some of Southern California's garden railways. One recent issue of GR I looked at I *think* had a list of garden railroads you could visit.

I know that during conventions there are visits, but if someone knows of a listing of railways (on the internet, etc.) you can visit by appointment that would be great.

Regards,

Thomas M.
