TJ
Loop Railroad, Southern Pacific Mojave Sub
76 Carriage Circle
Oley, PA 19547 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Weather Permitting!
Dave’s G scale railroad features
expansive dirt hills and scenery. Inspired by the La Mesa Model
Railroad in San Diego, his Mojave Subdivision is set in 1994, the
final full year of operations under the Southern Pacific and Santa
Fe flags. This year’s project has been the construction of a massive
concrete mountain, measuring 55' long, 19' at its widest point, and
over 8' tall. Beneath the mountain are four hidden storage tracks.
Similar storage tracks are located at the west end of the railroad,
just west of Caliente. Expect to see 20+ car trains with helper
engines tackling the grades on the layout. His backyard features a
significant incline, with Caliente sitting 32 real feet—or 928 G
scale feet—below the summit. With a ruling grade of 3%, closely
matching the real Tehachapi’s 2.2+% grade, the layout brings
California's most famous railfan spot to life in eastern PA. |
