Truckee to Donner climb over the Sierra

S scale ( + Sn3) – 1950-55
Owner: Bob Hogan
Layout Location: Madison, GA
Here's my Sierra Northern Railroad.
Modeled in S scale, the SN represents a generic Truckee to Donner climb over the Sierra.
I model the 1950-1955 era.
The layout is 22 X 23 foot with full scenery (see the photos section of the S scale list or the S Gaugan for pics) and features steam AC-12's, GS-4's, Decs, Mikes, P10 Pacifics as well as the smaller 2-8-0's and 2-6-0's. Diesels range from PA's, F-7's, Geeps, RSD-5's, plus Baldwin S-12's, and Alco S-2's as switchers.
All locos and cars are modeled after specific SP equipment.
Many are NMRA or NASG contest winners. Heck, there is even a 12 car Shasta Daylight and 16 car Lark consist that I built. Yeh, they are not appropriate to the route, but it is my railroad and I like to see the consists run.
There's also a Sn3 logging line for the Sierra Nevada Lumber Co. mill at Truckee. This line runs from a mountain reload to the mill using West Side Shays and equipment.
The layout is in a dedicated building at my house (full HVAC) in Madison, GA.
I grew up in the Bay Area during the '50's and lived there thru the 1980's, hence the interest. Gotta be the only SP layout in the south east!
