NICK KANE"S SACRAMENTO VALLEY RR, Part 1

Nick is a true artisan. His skills and talent is second to none! Trained in the art of architectural historical restoration, Nick has expanded his creative talents to model railroading. He is building and HO scale layout of the Sacramento Valley RR, circa 1855. You can watch a conversation between he and I on my YouTube Turntable Discussions.

There will be a series of posts here that will include his layout build, structure builds and scratch built brass 4-4-0 builds.. CRAZY!

This is a Sanborn map which he has referenced for his layout as an overview for his rail road. 

Here is one of the period photos Nick has been investigating to match the map with actual track and structure placement...

The following photos reflect the track work around the turntable.

The engine house too was scratch built... of course.

Stay tuned for more to come, e.g., his 3-way and switch builds using Fast Tracks and his magnificent loco build of the L. L. Robinson!
