Neither the WP (blue) nor the SP (red) have runaround tracks . The tracks that could otherwise be used would normally have cars sitting on them. The planning area map shows condition after freeway built removing WP connection to Front Street. I plan to model pre-Freeway.
Operation WP: From cassette or fiddle yard “A” westbound working trailing point spurs Team track and SP interchange to Front Street cassette “B”. On Front Street the WP worked some waterfront warehouses and interchanged with the SN and CCT. Return eastbound to “A” working trailing point spurs etc along the way.
Operation SP: Similar to WP. “C” to “D” (Front Street) and back working trailing point spurs and interchange. SP also served businesses on Front Street and connected to the Walnut Grove Branch.
On Front Street there were tracks of the SN on which the CCT also operated, the WP and the SP Walnut Grove Branch.

The critter looks to be N scale at 2’ x 20’. And the prototype scales out to be about 20’ long in N scale. Unless my arithmetic is off, that’s a 1:1 ratio. How very neat. Of course, since I work in HO, I’d like to see it done 40’ long.
It’s a real treat to see non-compressed layouts like this one.
I hope I see more as it progresses.

I origionally designed the layout as a 20’ NTrak module in the 1990’s, but never built it.

The Sacramento Model Railroad Historical Society is doing R Sreet in HO on their club layout. In green on this track plan.

I am not affilated with the club but one of the members got a lot of information on R Street from me years ago. He was building a HO layout based on R Street but appears to have discontinued that to work on the club layout.

He and the club have gone well beyond me in reasearch on the area and now I am learning from them. I have found other info on their site by Google search but the pages are apparently not linked to their main page.
