New Beginnings

After settling in after a much needed move, it's time to get settled on a much needed railroad.  I model the Southern Pacific Railroad in July, 1967.  My primary focus in on the Oregon Division and it's involvement in the lumber industry.  I have toyed around for a long time with ideas on a layout based on the Southern Pacific's Toledo Branch.  This line ran from Albany, OR to Toledo, OR after being cut back from Yaquina Bay.  Join me and step back in time as a small piece of a vast railroad empire is recreated in 1:160 scale.
