Gary Hoover Does it Again

[TrainWatcher]

I read his article on his modeling representation of San Bernadino, CA where the ATSF main west coast shops were in this months issue of MR. He has a great layout design going from Chicago to now San Bernadino. (See "Modeling the Railroads of the 1950's" from Kalmbach)

I am planning almost the exact same type of layout, execpt I would like to have Santa Fe as the primary tenent of the major station, and may include a few eastern roads, but what to be primarily Santa Fe. I also am looking at a few track plans from Linn Westcotts "101 Track Plans",a nd possibily taking a the "Golden Key Route" layout and making it into my "Downtown" area....

My layout is still in development, however I do like Mr. Hoovers San Bernadino section and may have to incorperate a like section to my layout plan....
