I was browsing the internet a few months ago and I came across a Southern Pacific railroad club layout, with a chance there were also santa fe or denver Rio Grande locomotives as well.I was amazed of how the layout looked, but I forgot to bookmark the club’s website.
What I do remember is they have a few photos with the background/sky photoshopped, one picture with a blurring effect of a fast train, a reference to the “Black widow” design, and a photo of a woman in a car behind a structure with a few locomotive cabs on the ground.
The only picture i can find of the layout is a SP GS sitting next to a Santa Fe steam locomotive with a caption and when i click on the link there’s nothing.
"This N scale layout was started in early 95 and is home to both the Southern Pacific & Santa Fe railroad’s. The time period here is the late 40’s so steam power is in full control with SP’s “Daylight” & “Lark” trains doubleheading behind GS-4 & MT-5 steam power. Also making daily stops at the Santa Mesa depot behind Warbonnet F units & PA’s are the ATSF’s “Grand Canyon” & “Chief.” A Tiger Striped Alco RSD-5 handles the local switching and picks up the freshly loaded reefers at the Sunkist packing house. Repair work to Black Widow GP-9’s #5780 & #240 (T.N.O.) are now complete and these units are back in mainline freight service. The layout is operated by a Digitrax Big Boy system and by using DCC my GS-4 has onboard sound from a Throttle Up Soundtrax decoder. The Santa Mesa local operates on a automatic point to point system under DC power.
