from 10AM til 4PM (rain or shine) but, his is the only garden railroad. There is a cost of $12 for tickets for the tour. Mike's layout has had pictures and articles written about it in newspapers and magazines. It is a great layout to visit!

Monday, July 6th : This open house at Mike Ledley's will be part of a drive yourself tour by the National Model RR Convention of Hartford, Conn.
