Outdoor Model Train - Grand Central Railroad

Outdoor Model Train

Despite the name, the location is just a short jaunt from Vegas and Phoenix. It's a good thing the folks at Del Webb built the community in the first place. The company has its share of mishaps, though. With that in mind, keeping your wits about you is best.

For starters, there are plenty of indoor and outdoor places to play. If your fancy is refined, consider looking into some of the surrounding cities. Among them, Scottsdale is only about 20 minutes away, and Mesa is a stone's throw from downtown Phoenix. So, whether you're a resident or a visitor, you'll always be close to a quality meal, an ounce of whiskey, and a nice warm shower.

Over 1600 feet of outdoor Tracks

To top it off, Sun City Grand has an active and growing Model Railroad Club. This group has a nifty ode to model train buffs of all stripes. The RCSC has a ruleset but is open about allowing you to show up and have a good time. Whether a resident or a visitor, you're always a welcome sight. Getting involved is easy. And you'll get to see some of the best views in town.

Model Trains in Arizona

If you're looking to get outside of the Phoenix area, you can find many outdoor model trains in Arizona. The state is home to many HO, G, O, and Z scale layouts. Some are in the Scottsdale and Phoenix areas, while others are in a smaller geographic location. But there's one layout unique to the Sun City West Area, and that's the Beardsley Recreation Center layout. It's a G-scale garden railroad with a trolley line down Front Street, plus room for building modeling.

5 Reasons Why Sun City Grand is a Great Place to Live

On a more technical note, the Beardsley Recreation Center layout has four main-line routes, and it even runs on rail and battery power. This is because it's built on a 45 mm gauge, allowing more powerful trains.
