Great Shots Fred; I was born and raised in Sandiego and spent a lot of time in Balboa Park. There used to be a Store called "Frank the Train Man" I used to go just watch all the train setups he had. Sigh; I miss SanDiego sometimes.

I do too, had an N gage layout for awhile, great fun. Now I have to use the O size trains, eyes can't see stuff that small any more LOL. You are so right Leona, it's a wonderful place. I also liked the Air museum.
