We installed Phase 1 of our ridable Miniature Railway featuring 7.5 inch hobby gauge track at the Paradise Valley Exhibition Park on McLeod Road in Aug-Sep 2011.s

In December 2011 we acquired a 0-6-0 switcher, tender, 4 ride cars, 700' of track and 8 switches that is undergoing significant work. Read more about  restoration projects for the rolling stock here.

Model "live" steam engines brought by Dan Parsons and other hobbyists will be fired up on special occasions.

Our major event for Phase 1 was the Fall Fair - Saturday/Sunday, September 24/25

Expansion and Building plans are here

Here's some video of the Fall Fair taken by Suzanne Aagaard,  edited by Dave Florence
