End of the Line for the SD&AE

The time has come for the next engineer of the SD&AE to take the throttle! The layout has been donated to the San Luis Obispo Model Railroad Association at their annual Model Railroad Days at the Oceano Depot January 28-29, 2014. Thanks for following along and we look forward to where the layout ends up next!

Southern Pacific Steam When It Was King

Well not exactly SD&AE footage, this is some awesome Southern Pacific steam action from the 40's and 50's.  Anybody ever seen any rail fan footage of the SD&AE during the 40's and 50's?

The Impossible Railroad DVD

 I just finished watching The Impossible Railroad and let me say it was a very well put together documentary and an absolute must watch for anyone who is a fan of the San Diego & Arizona Eastern Railroad!  It was released on DVD for the first time this year and you can get your copy here: The Impossible Railroad DVD 

Be sure to tell them we sent you!

New blog is up

Layout is gone and blog will continue (All thanks to fans of The SD&AE)

The layout went to a fan of The SD&AE. His family will continue to up-date this blog, they are fans of the railroad. Couldn't be better.

We've come to the end of the road....

We are moving to Wasilla, AK at the end of April and I need to sell the layout and the entire N scale collection.

Must sell by the end of April, moving and must sacrifice entire collection. Includes: Engines, rolling stock, structures on layout and some new in box, figures, vehicles, scenery materials, paints, tools, storage containers, adhesives, track, air compressor, power pack and more. Runs great!

Layout is a replica of THE SAN DIEGO AND ARIZONA EASTERN RAILROAD in the Desert of San Diego County.

Call Chuck at 559-224-2302 for more information and to schedule a viewing. Layout and collection is in NW Fresno and is portable.

There is at least $2000 or more of layout and collection must sacrifice at $1,000 obo.

Must have your own truck or van to move.
