His spline roadbed, ballasted with pea gravel, his 6 foot long trestle and remarkable loops were amazing. He ran long trains and had passing sidings to accommodate them. I'm glad I did not miss. This layout is under development and is taking shape as another great operators layout. Trains travel from Union Station either to San Diego or to the mountains.
Passenger trains dominate the scene and all are very good models of the prototype.
There are hidden loops for continuos running and plenty of yards to work along the runs. After a good long look at operations in LA it was back to the motel to get Mary and check out. I wish to say I had a fantastic time on the annual RED picnic. My thanks got to all those individuals who showed us such a great time and shared so many great layouts with us. I have always admired how when asked the model railroaders can fine the time and man power to put on a show.
