The two-day fest will include a display of large historic engines as well as their tiny model train counterparts in Downtown Los Angeles on Sept. 9-10.
All aboard! The Los Angeles Union Station’s Train Festival will soon be celebrating the legacy of train travel with a display of historic engines and their tiny, but equally impressive, model train counterparts.
Kim Knight runs an N Scale lumber train around his Donner Pass railroad layout in his Glendora garage on Thursday, August 24, 2023. Knight and the model train club he belongs to, Group 160 NTRAK Club, will be at Los Angeles Union Station Train Festival with model train displays. The “Los Angeles Union Station Train Festival 2023: A Celebration of Past, Present & Future,” is pulling into Union Station Sept. 9-10. Also on display will be a diesel locomotive painted in a patriotic red, white, and blue scheme, as well as the Tioga Pass, which was built in 1959 and was designed for railroad executives, plus a 1956 Pullman sleeping car and others. People will also be able to tour the inside a few rail cars.
“I was fascinated with them,” he said. “I was fascinated by their size. Some kids were into slot cars, some into radio controlled planes, trains were my thing.” While model trains can be purchased with period-correct details, there is still a lot of customization that can be done to get them to look just like the real deal.
