Having a dedicated volunteer is a priceless gift for any country forward-looking country. Unlike governments with big budgets and resources, volunteers knew their locality and what it needed, they knew their capacity, they had collective knowledge and skills, and they knew what could work and what couldn't. Above all, they are like-minded and looking for something better. All these elements are part of this group. I can tell, this guy has a happy and supportive family. Excellent work!

I am big hardcore fan of watching trains but i never seen before like this awesome, 😍 love from Patna, India
I can remember when I was a kid, I used to love seeing it....I could be there for hours.
Huell could get excited about anything that he was talking about , trains , Ghost towns , prospecting, anything and everything that he saw that was Historic , he became enthralled and enthused . R . I. P . HUELL " I Wish More People Would Be Like Him To Learn About What Is Around Themselves instead of Sitting Around Doing Nothing Or Causing Trouble ."
Man, I miss Huell! I used to knock of work at 5 every day to catch "California's Gold"! Great show!
Thank You KCET Huell Howser for all to enjoy.
I was in Palm Springs one day and happened to bump into Huell He wasn't filming at the time but he was at a 50s style furniture store I spoke to him for about 5 minutes It was really nice to be in 5 minutes of his life
Hard to believe Huell has been gone over 11 years. His reports helped tie us together in California at some basic level. I've read that after he did a show on a place that business or visitation increased a great deal. So, he had a positive effect on things right away. Some places he visited 20 years ago still herald that visit with posts, signs or references to it on their menu or websites. I'm still waiting for the Huell Howser memorial parades or Huell Day in the state.
Wish I had known about this layout when stationed in San Diego while in the Navy! This was in the late '50's and I would have spent a lot of time visiting this. Here's hoping this layout lasts a LONG time for my grandchildren to enjoy.
I Love this Layout Always as a Kid was The Highlight of my Fair Trip
I miss Huell and his enthusiasm for California's History. Never saw this episode so I am glad to see this as I like outdoor trains too.
I've lived here for a year, just literally down the street from Fairplex, and didn't know the Garden Railway existed. What an awesome and beautiful creativity to see. Simply amazing! I miss Hue ,and he was an awesome guy.
Wow, wow, wow! Thus is simply jaw dropping! Just beautiful.
I visited this railroad fifty years ago in the 1960s. In those years before Amtrak, they had exact replicas of Southern Pacific's streamlined Sunset Limited and Shasta Daylight passenger trains, and a clever replica of a drive-in movie theater, that used an operating television set as the "movie screen."
Love it ! California dreaming ..
Breathtaking! Incredible! Jaw dropping! Thanks Huell...and thanks to everyone that works on the stunning railroad layout!
One of my favorite resting spots during the LA country fair in Pomona also home of the NHRA drag races starts and ends in Pomona. The model train layout is so beautiful all lit up after dark so nice to give your legs and feet a break enjoy a nice cold beverage wonderful attraction to look forward to every year at the fair. Huell Howser was an awesome guy a huge loss to all of us RIP buddy.
Uniquely beautiful and informative layout... And you could tell it grew on Huell, too 😉
I have to go here when this darn COVID is over with - Thanks Huell for everything you have done
