    IMG_3058.JPG IMG_3046.JPG IMG_3068 (2).JPG IMG_3079.JPG IMG_3049.JPG Went to SSF yesterday to show a friend John Petrovitz's layout of San Francisco and the NWP up HWY 101. Really GREAT detail From Market st. to the Ferry Building. #rd St Bridge (Now Called Lefty O'Doul), Coit Tower. Petreo Hill , State Belt Line, Petaluma Swing Bridge, Scotia Bluff, Tug and Barge traffic and on it goes. ALL very detailed...MUCH, Scratch built. ....... IMG_3058.JPG IMG_3046.JPG

    I've seen some photos in the past of this layout..WOW! I wish it was open to the public as I would LOVE to see it in person, especially since I also model the NWP. This layout deserves more exposure!

    I was always fascinated by the Hamm’s sign when I was young

    But, where is Seal’s Stadium between the Hamm’s plant and the Bekins Storage?

    My last layout was an NWP themed layout. I modeled 5327 in scarlet and gray, never knew it had been a pumpkin.

    Never been to the prototype area, but the detailing is incredible.
