Along San Francisco's bayside

N scale - Era mid'50s to early '60s
Owner: John & Cindy Petrovitz
Layout Loacation: South San Francisco
A 12' X 23' N scale layout depicting the SP and the California State Belt Railroad along San Francisco's bayside waterfront area, located along the walls of the layout.
On a central peninsula, (SP's subsidiary) the Northwestern Pacific is portrayed with a freelanced compilation of Petaluma, Tiburon, and Healdsburg CA areas on one side, then a section of the Eel River canyon, including a section along the Scotia Buffs, on the other.
The foot of Market St. in San Francisco is represented with a California St. cable car marking the end of its inbound run, across Market St. from Number One Market St., the SP's headquarters. And across the Embarcadero from One Market is the Ferry Bldg, busy receiving commuters arriving on PCC's of the San Francisco Municipal Railway on Market St.
The State Belt runs along the Embarcadero and in the streets below Telegraph Hill and Coit Tower.
SP's Third and Towsend Station receives Trains 99, the 'Daylight' and 75, the 'Lark' as well as the busy schedule of 'commutes' during to a 'loose' era between the mid 1950's and the early '60's.
The WP and the AT&SF have some limited trackage as well (rather prototypically).
The scenery is about 90% complete (though Telegraph Hill looks somewhat like 1906 yet).
