Glen Frazer

This intricately detailed module is an accurate representation of an actual Santa Fe location in Northern California. The siding in model form is approximately 1500 scale feet in length. The four sections together have a length of about 20 actual feet. The Glen Frazer module set was featured in the April and May, 2003 issues of Rail Model Journal.

Bay Shore Yard

The yard started out with the three sections on the left to provide nine stub ended storage tracks. The narrow, crossover module on the right was available from a previous layout and it lent itself well for overcoming the difficulties that a stub end yard entails. i.e. With this arrangement we can now escape the power sets after a run.

Hearst

Hearst is based on a portion of the historic Niles Canyon area about a mile east of Sunol, CA. This location on the ex-WP (current UP) main is part of what was the last section of the transcontinental railway to be completed to San Francisco.

Reynard

Reynard is a two section module that provides flexibility to a larger set-up through its 90 degree turn. Its fictitious industry is a plastics unloading facility.

Cottonwood Creek

Here's a short length of mainline that offers some nice scenery including a bridge over a small creek.

Sheridan

Inspired by the location of the same name on the Southern Pacific's East Valley Line north of Roseville, CA, this module provides another industrial spur which serves a local grain elevator.

North Bay

This module set is being modeled after the UPS North Bay intermodal facility in Northern California. When complete, the five sections will provide a 2300 scale foot passing siding and two, 1600 scale foot intermodal loading tracks.

Shandin

The Shandin loop provides the return capability for an 'out-and-back' operating mode. Its extra trackage can be used as staging tracks or as additional passing sidings. This five section module features a broad 48" minimum track radius and was constructed entirely by one person!
