Tucson’s
Toy Train Operating Museum

The Gadsden Pacific is in need of active members, volunteers who are willing to donate their time to our efforts to preserve this hobby and share it with others.  Please consider joining us.

The museum is open Sunday afternoons September through May!

The 7 1/2 Gauge outdoor ride on train will not be operating for the remainder of our season ending in May 2026. While we are saddened the layout is not operating, we will be working during the off-season to prepare it for future operations.

We’ll be closed to the public June, July, and August.

From September to May we are open from 1:00 to 4:00 P.M. every Sunday with some exceptions.  You can find those exceptions here!

We are a passionate group of toy train enthusiasts who have amassed an extensive collection of classic and vintage trains of various scales (VIDEO).   In addition to the seven operating layouts inside, we have a garden layout out front, a ride-on train that circles the property and a real caboose you can explore.  And here’s a nice video of our museum as well as other Tucson railroading attractions. (Video of the Gadsden Pacific begins 3 minutes and 28 seconds into the short.)
