Among the many attraction at the Toy Train Depot is the
Alamogordo/Alameda Narrow Gauge Railway, home of
Alamogordo/Alameda Narrow Gauge Railway, home of
AMERICA'S NATIONAL PARK RIDE TRAIN MUSEUM.
This is a 16" M.T.C. model of an F7 Diesel painted in the Union Pacific Armour Yellow paint scheme. The 1/5 scale train ride weighs in at over 2 tons and can haul 48 children or 24 adults in the three passenger cars.
The Toy Train Depot also has an M.T.C. replica 16" F7 with three passenger cars painted in the Baltimore and Ohio color scheme as well as our latest find, an abused but restorable F7 in Western Pacific colors.
Train rides tickets are available at the Depot. Rides are schedualed every quarter hour, Wednesday-Sunday 12:30pm to 4:30pm. (But Lee has been known to take passengers whenever they're ready and throw the time table out the window.) However the last train is run promptly at 4:30pm

The 12" Addison Train
This blue and yellow 12" gauge train is one of only three located in a public venue.
This is a later shot of our backshop. Chief Engineer Lee Bohanon is finishing grading the second siding into our two bay engine house. Now he can finish twice as much work at one time as before, but don't tell him that, he already works 160 hours a week.
