Layout Preview: Central Coast RR Festival – Ron Hamley
This is a detailed, compact N scale U-shaped layout measuring 4”x4”, 2’x2’, 3’x7’. The mainline runs thirty-eight feet.
Ron models California’s coastal mountain area in the 1950s to early 1960s. Scenery includes oak forests, grasslands, small streams and an ocean harbor. Many trees are handmade.
He runs a logging train plus freight and passenger trains. There is a small operating yard, freight station and engine house.
Structures include a sawmill, a town with multi-story buildings and harbor area buildings.
Power is DC.
