Presented by Steve Bradley
4615 Waverly Rd., Oceanside
Map Link: ? (Scroll on map to change the scale.)
Mina Subdivision Of The Salt Lake Division Of The Southern Pacific Railroad
This layout is HO and HOn3 (narrow gauge) covering the Southern Pacific RR Mina Subdivision (Southwest Nevada to Eastern California). Steve designed the model railroad on digital software for a 10¡¯ X 10¡¯ room as a point-to-point operational layout. Many structures are scratch built to match real buildings from the area. Almost all of the rail cars are custom built and weathered kits. Many of the engines are brass and custom painted. A portion of the layout was featured in the Jan/Feb 2020 edition of the Narrow-Gauge Gazette.

Presentation: "Where did the Tracks Go in Highland?"
Presentation: "Where did the Tracks Go in Highland?"
Jeff Staggs developed a PowerPoint presentation last year for the Highland Area Historical Society entitled, "Where did the Tracks Go in Highland" and presented it at one of their bi-monthly meetings. He contrasted historical photos which he obtained permission to use with present day photos which he took of the same locations.
His presentation included stations at Patton, Highland, Molino and East Highlands.
He would be happy to share what he can or do the presentation for a group if interested.
If you wish to have Jeff give his presentation to your group, contact him at:
