Any idea whether these two people were related to Warner LeRoy, friends, or simply with the firm hired to do the logo for the park?

Congratulations Eric on what is probably the shortest correct answer yet!

 

ANSWER: The trains used in the Garden of Marvels were produced by LGB (Lehmann-Gross-Bahnen) of Germany and were the first public "G" scale model railroad display in the United States. "G" scale trains are approximately 1/22.5 scale which complemented the 1/25th European scale buildings nicely.

When I was a kid, I think the Garden of Marvels must of had an influence on me. My "other" hobby outside of GAH is G-scale trains.
