All aboard for model-railroad fans' open house event
Garden railroaders to open up their tracks

CASTAIC - A tiny Al Swearengen leans over the balcony of the Gem Saloon, except this bar isn't anywhere near Melody Ranch, home of his HBO series "Deadwood."

This tyrant lords over a miniature homage to the series by train fan Debbie Goetz, who, with her husband, Dan, has built the Western town into their 140-foot backyard garden railroad.

Darn, I love "Deadwood" too, but I'm not out making "tiny Al Swearengens" or "miniature Calamity James" or even "diminutive Trixies."
