Apr 4-17 Hiller Aviation Museum European Model Train Show (San Carlos airport)
museum lobby is filled with incredibly detailed HO-scale European model train layouts
(even Thomas might appear!)
Easter Bunny arrives by helicopter April 11
Wonderful aviation museum by itself, lots of local history and tons of real planes for kids, even a 747 section!
– April 19 SF Conservatory of Flowers Golden Gate Express (Golden Gate Park)
large G-scale model trains (and a cable-car trolley) cruise around a very beautiful floral layout,
with SF landmark buildings & GG Bridge made out of “recycled” pieces of every-day materials
If you like real trains, Niles Canyon Railway is great:
real (full-size) steam&diesel train rides Sundays, between Niles-Sunol
should be open for steam trains this weekend, and the spring green-covered canyons w/ wildflowers are beautiful this time of year! Trains go year-round except winter.. can be cool, cover up!
