San Diego AGTTA Holiday Sale Draws Community to St Dunstan's Church

A large regional toy train and model railroad sale and swap meet took place on Saturday, December 13, 2025 at St Dunstan's Episcopal Church, 6556 Park Ridge Boulevard. The All Gauge Toy Train Association of San Diego organized the Holiday Open House and Giant Sale, which had been advertised in a Craigslist event listing posted December 10, 2025. The listing described vendors, sales, raffles, free admission, free parking, and club fellowship as part of the day.

The event provided a practical marketplace for buyers and sellers to exchange locomotives, rolling stock, track, scenery, and parts across multiple scales. Raffles and social time with club members were included in the program, giving attendees chances to win items and to network with local model railroaders. Free admission and parking lowered the barrier for families and casual visitors who wanted to browse without commitment.

For collectors and repair minded hobbyists the sale offered opportunities to locate hard to find parts and to compare prices from multiple sellers in one location. For newcomers the open house format created an easy way to meet club members, ask questions about layouts and operations, and learn about local events and resources. Community fellowship was a highlighted element in the listing, reflecting the social role local clubs play beyond commerce.
