Video of '20s & '30s Model Railroad at San Bernardino, CA Railroad Days
Here's a video that I made showing my club's display: http://vimeo.com/104869401
In addition to the model railroad, you can see ex-ATSF 3751 arriving under steam and see other 1:1 vehicles. The purpose of the video is to make our club more visible with the intent of attracting new members as well as new venues to display at in the greater Los Angeles/San Bernardino/Orange County area in California.
For more info about the club, see our website.
Suggestions for early 80s pickup trucks?
I find trucks fro the beginning of autos through the 70s and then they end. Any suggestions on some brands that make some? Thanks.

Will this look stupid?
I am trying to decide if this will look appropriate with the mainline track going under the tipple chute. The tipple chute will go into a backdrop.
I also raised the tipple foundation to fit locos under it. I understand that this is not a prototypical way to do it but I am trying to maximize space and have trains pull through the tipple.
Please see the attached photos.
Any input is greatly appreciated. I can take constructive criticism.
Thanks,
James
Maryborough Layout
My former Model Railway Club, Australian Model Railway Association, Victorian Branch, Has built several excellent Portable Exhibition Layouts over the years most of which I had something to do with the construction and operation. The latest is a HO scale model of Maryborough Station on the Victorian Railways Broad Gauge network. Maryborough is a Regional town of about 8000 people in Central Victoria 140 Miles from Melbourne.
