Title: Large Scale display at San Antonio Botanical Gardens
Post by: Nathan on November 01, 2007, 09:01:05 AM
If you are in the San Antonio Texas area between November 17th and December 2nd, the San Antonio Garden Railway Society division of the Texas Transportation Museum invites you to visit our small Large Scale display at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens Halsell Conservatory.

If you do visit and have had a chance to visit other Botanical Gardens that have Large Scale displays, we would like you input as to what we can do better next time.

Hi Nathan,

The Missouri Botanical Garden in St Louis will have it's annual G Scale Model Train Display again this year.  It is called the Gardenland Express


Beginning in early November they usually show pictures of the construction on their web site,  in recent years the layouts have become ever more intricate. 

This is the address:

It has a link and instructions on how to watch the construction.  I watched last year and it was neat to see how they did things.

Best of luck with your show, it is great to see how much exposure Large scale railroading gets from efforts such as yours!!!
