Looking for an Inglenook Type Layout

[NorthBrit]

Inglenook layouts are well known here in the U.K.

I have come across this  --

Come to think of it, I think there were SP commuter trains posed on the layout I was thinking of which would suggest Bay Area

Finally remembered that photo. It's from Brian Moore's article on his Quisling sectional/modular layout in the December 2018 Model Railroader, page 39. It's not really an Inglenook – and 24 feet long – but I think that’s the one you are remembering. From a prototypical standpoint, SP Commuter trains were only in the San Francisco Bay area proper, so they would be out-of-place in Brian’s suggested locale. The caption suggests that the commuter cars belong to another modeler. But it’s fine modeling.

Aye!  Brian Moore (a Scot?).  He does nice work.

Bryan Moore's

Even more recently, Brian Moore's Quisling sectional layout was featured in the January 2020 Model Railroader. Subscribers may find the track plan here:

Since some people may truly be wondering

... here is another page from that site with some 'prototype' Inglenooks:

a Southern Pacific themed switching layout featuring commuter trains...

Bryan Moore's, featured in the July 2016 issue of a publication that must remain nameless.  Here's an overview of the operation, with music fit for the Relaxing Evening thread:

Thanks NH,  I will follow that one up but it is not the simplicity that I was looking at for beginners.  That is one nice layout and idea though! 

Cheers from Australia

     There is a Southern Pacific themed switching layout featuring commuter trains on Youtube, entitled "Quisling Turn".  I remember something about it in a hobby magazine stating it was in fact a UK layout.  Inglenook sounds British so, maybe they're related.

HI All,

I changed my search terms and found the layout I was thinking of  - Joseph Leal'.s Burbank Division ... another similar layout does stick in my mind that had a representation of the SP San Jose line with commuter cars as well.  If anyone can help please as I am building up some small articles for the Australian "Rail Modeller Australia" magazine.

Cuyama, Thanks again for your input and additional explanations - interesting that Joseph's layout and the Burbank Division are almost polar opposites, 

Cheers from Australia

Yes, that would be Bay Area

Inglenook?  Isn't that a wine produced in Napa Valley?

Since some people may truly be wondering and not just doing schtick:
Inglenook Sidings

[xdford]

Thanks Cuyama, 

That is yet another one! I do remember the LAJ with your prompt but the one I am thinking of  the reverse of this with longer sidings.  Come to think of it, I think there were SP commuter trains posed on the layout I was thinking of which would suggest Bay Area - silly me of course - only 300 or so miles of difference but from Australia it's only a stone throw of distance!

Cheers and Thanks from Australia

You might be thinking of Lance Mindheim's LA Junction Railway layout. (not SP, owned by the ATSF)

HI All,

I think I saw on this forum a Southern Pacific prototype layout set in LA(?) relatively recently consisting of three sidings on one shelf and a Long Yard lead on another in an L shape?  Sorry to be vague but I seem to remember the builder also had a web site?

Can any one point me in the right direction please on this one?

TIA from Australia
