My Dad’s Layout in July 2007

I never posted pictures of my dad’s layout on my old website, but I am including them now for completion.

My dad took these pictures of his HO-scale layout on July 28, 2007, using my digital camera.

Southern Pacific SW1500 #2638 switches cars in the yard.

Southern Pacific Budd RDC-1 #10 makes a station stop at Hastings.

Southern Pacific GP38-2 #4800 switches cars in the industrial park.

Southern Pacific SD40 #8444 poses in the industrial park.

Southern Pacific GP35 #6679 is not actually on the layout, but is shown here in the display case in the layout room.

Southern Pacific Business Car #112 “Shasta” poses in the industrial park. This freelanced car was kitbashed from a Rivarossi streamlined observation car.
