Tour the Southern California Traction Club

The SCTC displayed it's HO trolley modules setup at the NMRA L.A. Division meet at the South Coast Botanical Garden in Palos Verdes CA a couple weeks ago. This is my first show with the club. I pretty much spent the entire time video taping the layout in action, amassing about an hours worth of video. I was able to distill that video down to about 8 minutes for your viewing pleasure:



The Southern California Traction Club modules feature spectacular cityscapes, fully detailed scenes, long mainline running, multiple trolleys operating from live overhead, and a whole lot more. So sit back and enjoy the ride. Yes sir! Enjoy the ride!

  2. Very nice piece of work, both layout and video! I especially loved the red cars. And by the way, what are the tunes at 2:58 and 6:25? The last one sounds like Count Basie to me.

  4. That video is truly amazing. I hope someday I can build a Pacific Electric Railway (or even a CNS&M Railroad) layout like that.
