The Home of the Brave Railroad is a G-Scale layout oval-track train in the Home of the Brave museum. It's well served purpose is to attract and depict the extremely important Military role that the US Railroads provided during World War II. Inside the museum is this very basic yet eye-catching, 12x20 foot overhead oval track connected by a large LGB steel bridge. They provide the support for two steam vintage locomotives and related US Military rolling stock.


The Pacific Santa Fe 44-6-2 pulls heavy weight and olive drab interior lighted passenger, dining and observation coaches, all resembling a typical World War II Train. The alternate train consists of a five car combine consisting of a US Army flat car with jeeps, a piggy back car with Army trailers, a Navy ammunition box car, an Air Force tank car and Army caboose, indicative of bygone Military freight rail conveyances.
The train was installed by Glen and provided by Bud Layman of Above All Railways in Tarzana, CA. Bud can be contacted at (818) 996-1101.
