In this 1992 video, there is some fine guitar music during the tour of Balboa park. Inside the main entrance to the museum, there is an actual semaphore signal that was donated by the southern pacific. It�s always activated every 5 minutes. The museum is open from Wednesday-Sunday, and also on the first Tuesday of the Month. An Artist�s Mural of the Santa Fe�s San Diego Depot is included. Back then, the admission for adults were only a pocket change of one dollar and fifty cents, and the kids under 15 can go in for free. A Look inside the Gift Shop is shown. Keep your eyes open for some of the Pentrex tapes included as well as the spines of the 6 part Great Trains of The West series by Simitar, Not to Mention the Great Toy Train Layouts of America by TM Books & Video. Layout 1 is the Cabrillo & Southwestern, Layout 2 is the San Diego & Arizona Eastern, Layout 3 is the Pacific Desert Lines, And Layout 4 is the Tehachapi line. There is also photographed displays, and some more layout construction. Plus a couple of Layouts, One for LGB G Gauge, the other for Lionel O gauge which features a Pennsylvania Alco FPA4, And a Southern Pacific Switcher. During the tour of the 4 layouts, reused sounds from various real engines are shown. While SP have scrapped 99% of their 4-8-8-2 Cab Forwards and also preserved 4294 at Sacramento, There are lots of Cab Forwards in Toy Train Form.

Overall, It�s a great experience to see What model railroaders, SoCal Railfans, And Visitors and residents could plan what San Diego Has to offer.

For the model railroaders who want to see an operating model system from the comfort of the arm chair. 2 HO's, 1 O scale, & 1 N scale make for an video. Take a close look at the scenery & detail. All excellent work. The only fault I see is the time span. It would be nice if it was a bit longer than 30 minutes.
