Souvenir Shop has a decent (but overpriced) compliment of Tamiya kits, along with books, toys and a snack shop. The whole thing is down for n a single building, but I am told that as more visitors come in, they will expand displays and have more buildings built and more vehicles on display.

I am very happy that this museum is up and running. I could volunteer for tours if I wasn’t working full time already.

Thanks for posting these - some great images, they’re interesting, helpful and useful for ideas for future projects - I’m seeing a WC build of some sort in my future!

Cheers

Nice pics. Thanks! They have the WWII wrecker I’ve been looking for, as well as a Cent! Got two SF buddies in the area. Too soon for yet another road trip?
