Alan Keller, producer of the Great Model Railroads DVD's did one on this layout.  Agreed that it is spectacular.  lt was not complete when he did his video, and I see from this one, it was still not finished.  Love to see one produced if it is now further along.

Do, watch this video, however is you like spectacularly done scenery and urban scenes.

I've grown up and lived in Southern California all my life. The scenery on this layout is perfect. Wow! Many of the areas still look very similar today, but some (sadly) have changed considerably. Thank you for sharing this.

I would have liked to have seen more of the station featured, which if I'm not  mistaken is the one in San Bernardino. The station still stands, the shops moved to Barstow.. San Bernardino was my hometown and it captured the station and shops very well. I recall a very tall smoke stack next to the roundhouse/shops ( not depicted?) and the Mt. Vernon Ave. overpass ( which is shown).

As a kid I remember hearing the Santa Fe shop whistle blasting away telling the whole town to start the day. It could be heard all over the valley.. You could set your watch to it.

My father in law and brother in law were life long Santa Fe employees. It was a great time growing up in Southern California.
