A number of years ago my family was in Duluth Minnesota, and had dinner at a place that had a great G gauge layout running around on a ledge. It was one of the best of it's type that I have ever seen, but have no idea if the restaurant is still there, or even what it's name was.[:(][:)]

Trains in Restaurants
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 4:49 PM
I always enjoy going to a restaurant and seeing toy trains running or on display.

Once in Monterey, CA I dined at the Del Monte Express which was a train themed restaurant and they had a train running on an overhead track. They had great hamburgers too! [dinner]

Last Novemeber when I visited my inlaws in Palm City, FL, they knew I liked trains and took me to the Flashback Diner in the next town. It was great. They had trains running overhead and a small layout.

Also, I once ate at a restaurant on RT 9 is South NJ. I don't remember the name of the restaurant but it was part of a family fun complex (mini golf, batting cages, children's amusement rides, etc.) I recall seeing multiple layouts in the restaurant.

There is somthing about good food and toy trains that go together. I hope to come across more of these restaurants in my travels.
