ALES West operates three different railway gauges. Our three sizes include narrow gauge (2'), grand scale (7.5"), and G gauge. The two larger gauges — 2-foot and 7.5 inch — are big enough even for a grown-up to ride. "G-gauge" is a model train designation corresponding to a 1/32 scale, roughly twice as big as your average "Christmas morning" model train. For every foot of track, every moment of just rolling along, there's quite a bit of behind-the-scenes work. Fortunately, we happen to love trains.

The Forest Park Miniature Railroad was built as part of Forest Park Rides in 1958-1959. The ride is an approximately five-mile, thirty-five to forty-minute round trip from the Forest Park Depot off Colonial Parkway in Forest Park to the Duck Pond in Trinity Park and back with one stop at the Trinity Park Depot in Trinity Park where passengers may board the train if seats are available. The train crosses six bridges on its route including a 350 foot girder bridge and 171 foot truss bridge, both of which cross the Clear Fork of the Trinity River. The third longest bridge (sixty feet) along the route of the Forest Park Miniature Railroad spans the Trinity Park Creek before the train crosses under the Fort Worth and Western Railroad External Link trestle on its way to the Duck Pond. Occasionally, the Grapevine Vintage Railroad External Link is making its way across this trestle when the Forest Park Miniature Railroad is passing underneath.]]> Forest Park Miniature Railroad

The BJWRR has been in operation at Oak Meadow Park and Vasona Park in Los Gatos, California since 1970. In 2006 it attracted over 115,000 riders.

For 71 of his 83 years, Billy Jones was a railroad man. He was 13 when he started as a "roustabout" for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. Fifty of those 71 years were spent on the SP while the remainder dealt with a love project for children of the Santa Clara Valley and his hobby. On his ranch at the corner of Daves Avenue and Winchester Blvd. in Los Gatos, Billy constructed the Wildcat Railroad as the result of a rare purchase… the old "Number 2", a prairie type locomotive from the Venice Miniature Railway, Venice, California. Jones began construction of his own railroad in 1941. In 1943 the first round trip was made in his orchard and for the next 25 years, children of all ages in the Santa Clara Valley enjoyed the thrill of riding behind a real steam engine.

After Billy's death in 1968 many of his friends, both adults and children, petitioned the Los Gatos Town Council to save the railroad. A group of businessmen formed a non-profit corporation to purchase the railroad from the Jones estate and relocate it in a corner of Oak Meadow Park and a portion of Vasona Park in Los Gatos. The corporation managed to raise the money needed for the purchase of the equipment through fund raising activities by many interested friends, service clubs, youth groups, fraternal and religious organizations.

An all-volunteer construction project started early in 1969 with the transferring of equipment from the Jones ranch to the park complex. Prior to the "big move" an engine house and car barn facility in the park had been completed to house the equipment. Track laying had gotten underway at the same time. On July 26, 1970 a golden spike was driven into a Laurelwood tie and the new Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad began operations.]]> Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad

The Jardin d'Acclimatation in Paris' Bois de Boulogne, now a children's amusement park, was originally a zoo (in which some episodes of Proust's "A la Recherche du Temps Perdu" are set). Among the attractions for young visitors are animal enclosures, donkey rides, a miniature railroad, a traffic training circuit, a karting track, a skateboarding rink, fair booths, a children's museum and a theater.]]> Jardin d'Acclimatation - Miniature Train
