    I'm still trying to find pictures of the roundhouse at Oroville. The only ones I have are too close to get a good start at modelling it. Thanx, Bobby. ( it burned down in 76)

    Bobby,

    Where do you live? A visit to the Portola Railroad Museum maybe of help. Aside from a few books they maybe your best bet. It was already leased to a railcar contractor by the time I hired out on the WP. I never got up that way before it burned. Are you going to model the stock pens up at Oroville also? Oroville would be a good yard for a model!

    Hi Greg, I don't have the space to try a decent effort. Call it a long term project. I model (Freelance ? ) the Feather River Railway and WP comes by and does pickups and setouts on the interchange tracks. It would be a great yard to model.
