Gary’s SP Santa Cruz Division layout is an operations oriented 1:32 standard gauge layout.
Modeled after the Southern Pacific’s line from San Jose to Santa Cruz, the old South Pacific Coast R.R.
The era is in the late 60's.
The mainline is 750 feet long with five passing sidings.
The railroad design is point to point. Mainline minimum radius is 8'6". The maximum mainline grade is 1.5%.
We run with 1st. and 2nd. generation diesels. Mainline track and industrial spurs are in. The yard and industrial tracks at San Jose and Santa Cruz are not in yet. There are some temporary yard tracks in.
Gary has planted several hundred dwarf Alberta spruce trees as part of the scenery.
