Hi! I’m into Classic Toy Trains but I think this is the correct forum to ask a question. Last week, we revisited Cypress Gardens, Fl. (Since 1971) They have a good sized HO layout on display that they say they purchased back in the 1980s but the person in the area did not know too much about it. I was wondering if any of you were familiar with it and knew any of the details. Many thanks.
I visited Cypress Gardens 2 years ago with my parrents. That rail road has been there for some time. I believe it was built by a local model railroad club. It suffered heavy damage a few years ago from one of the hurricanes that came though there. My parrents told me that they have just now completed the repairs. There was still some damage when I went to see it. I have a few pictures of it on my flickr site. Just search flickr for timthechef and you can see the pictures.
Model Railroader June 1988 issue had an article on the layout at Cypress Gardens.
