LEGO Train Sets on Display at the Nations Largest Model Railroad Museum

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010 by The Best Places in San Diego

Model-Railroad-LegoWhat do you get when you cross LEGO building blocks with model trains? Answer: A colorful model train display that appeals to more than just LEGO fanatics and train buffs.

I came across the impressive display on a recent visit to the San Diego Model Railroad Museum. It is a temporary exhibition set up by the Southern California LEGO Train Club.

The model trains pass by buildings, over bridges, and past amusement parks (with the crowd favorite merry-go-round and ferris wheel), all built out of LEGOs. My description and the attached photos do not capture the true beauty of the display. So, I recommend you stop by the museum in Balboa Park before the exhibition ends on January 15.

Kids under 15 get in for free. It is also free for San Diego County adults if you can go during today’s free admission Tuesday’s in Balboa Park. If you have not visited North America’s largest model railroad museum, you can read a summary about it on my San Diego travel web site.
