cool little museum, with nice model train lay-outs. one n scale layout on 1st floor, and a bigger HO layout in the basement. they have occasional open houses when you can drop in and look around. its free but there's a donation box at the front door. put some money in there, its worth it *I* think.  check out the website (link below) for details on schedules etc.

the address is actually

Niles Depot  
36997 Mission Boulevard
Fremont, California
(Not a mailing address)

website: http://nilesdepot.rail...

UPDATE its going to closed for probably over a year. they're moving (the whole thing!) to down town Niles. see website (above) for details

The Niles area, and Depot has got to be the coolest part of Fremont. Silent Movie Nights, historic train rides, nature trails & parks, antique shops, tea houses, biker bbq joints.

It looks like someone took a piece of the old west and plopped it in the middle of normal Cali suburbia.
