While you are in the Phoenix area, the two must see's are the Adobe Mountain railroad park with a huge 7 1/2 inch gauge outdoor railroad, HO, G and tinplate layouts. Open to the public on weekends. Then in Scottsdale is McCormick Railroad Park with real railroad displays, 15" gauge train and a building with N, HO and tinplate layouts. It is open daily.
