    SAN DIEGO DIVISION – LAYOUT TOUR

    Saturday October 8th, 2011
    1:00 to 4:00 PM
    In-ko-pah Railroad ~ Host ~ Ray Dunakin
    4665 Huggins Street, San Diego

    The In-ko-pah Railroad is a 1/24th scale, narrow gauge, out door model railroad
    built into a steep hillside. It occupies a space measuring fifty feet across,
    by twenty feet deep. The height from the pathway at the base of the layout to
    the top of the mountain at the rear of the layout is about 12 to 14 feet.

    The basic track plan is a long dog bone loop folded into an overlapping "Z" with
    roughly 250 to 300 feet of mainline track. There are three sidings including one
    that is not yet finished. The layout features many tunnels, bridges and
    trestles, each scratch built to fit the terrain, with scenery inspired by the
    San Diego & Arizona famed Carrizo Gorge.

    Directions: Take I-805 to Governor Drive (Exit 24). Turn WEST onto Governor
    Drive, go 0.5 miles to Gullstrand Street, turn RIGHT onto Gullstrand Street .4
    miles where Gullstrand Street becomes Cather Avenue. Go 0.3 miles to Weller
    Street, turn RIGHT on Weller Street, go to end and turn RIGHT on Huggins Street. #4665 Huggins will be on left. Street parking.
