Thanks for posting. I have not visited their website since I was researching information in the San Diego area for a layout I was considering several years ago. As impressive as the overall size of the layout is, the meticulous detail in some of their prototype structure recreations is even more incrdible. The San Diego AT&SF passenger station is one of the best model railroad structures I have ever seen. Jamie

It's interesting to note that it's all handlaid code 40 rail - soldered to PC ties.  They're nice enough to share their tracklaying standards on their website.

That Santa Fe depot was the "model of the month" in January, 1990 MR.
