Great place to visit throughout the whole and have a picnic and ride historical equipment as well.
Who composed the music?

:38 What is going on with that kids pants?
He is not the kid. That is the father, who shrunk back to his "little boy" days when he was mesmerized by the steam locomotive. Mom shrinks too, when she rings the bell on the trolley. At the very end, the son comments "so who is going to drive us home?".
Oh. I never would have figured that out.
NICE RUNBY
Wow this video totally got to me. Beautifully done.
Her reaction at 1:43 tho

Hi Gary.... I am a Brit but used to live in Glendora CA. many years ago and became interested in the PE system and interurban's. I would like to convert some Bachmann passenger cars I have into interurban's for my G Scale layout. Are there any component suppliers to assist in building. Did you build your completely from scratch? Kind Regards John. UK
MP 54's were on the Pennsylvania RR, as far as I know, none ever came to California. Back about 100 years ago, "portholes" were the "in thing" among some designers of electric railway cars. PE also had about two dozen hand-me-downs from the SP Oregon electrification which also had porthole end windows. Then there was the McKeen self-propelled car, which had LOTS of portholes.
@gastarre Very Clever!
Yes, I built it, using USA Trains trucks, a Hartland flat car, an LGB Eureopean coach body, the remnants of an LGB small steeple cab switcher, Kadee couplers, handrails made from paper clip type wire, wood coffee stirrers for the trolley boards and a Bachmann trolley pole and headlights. I had to bolt the ends on so it would not tear itself apart when I coupled a train to it.
hey did u build that
The strange music is "Remember When..." I thought it fit! The sound system is an onboard air compressor powering an authentic PE whistle -- on the prototype at Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, CA. The sound was recorded and then dubbed on to the video.
what sound system is in those?
what a beautiful sight!
The PE Tens, 950's and the Hollywood are kitbashes from Bachmann passenger cars, and the blimp is a modified Aristo heavyweight coach. All are plastic. More recently, I have built a PE 1600 class locomotive from an old LGB passenger car, as well as modifying a Hartland PE Birney. There is another person who scratchbuilt a wood PE Ten that occasionally shows up on the layout.
Great looking layout. Are all these models plastic? I remember an all wood PE car there a long time ago, I think it was a PE 10 series.
What is the music called?
ya got 2 drive that lol
Those MP 54s were beautiful!!
Bitchin'! Growing up in the SGV in the 70's, the model trains at the fair were always truly fascinating for me. Thanks to all!
I remember as a kid I could hear that train whistle at night all the way from Alameda Street when I lived in East Wilmington at the Port of Los Angeles in the late 50's.
At Fairplex, we were concerned about people tripping over the overhead trolley wire, so it has to exist only in our imaginations.
I'm into "G" scale myself. I love the P.E. models and the layout is nice too. I also love the horn and sound effects. But where is the overhead trolley wire? That would really make it complete.
this is soo cool The old PE RELIVED I love the horn! the music is bad ass! Thax for posting it
