I created this fllickr site to showcase the building processes I went through in creating an HO Scale Layout. The Model Railroad is loosely based upon the now defunct Southern Pacific Burbank Branch, once located in the San Fernando Valley of Southern California.

The layout is small, measuring 10 x 4 feet in an "L" configuration. Since I rent, the layout has been built in 3 modules, each 4 foot by 16 inch, bolted together. The bench work is 1x2 Pine, with 3/8 Plywood glued and screwed. The track is Atlas code 83 flex glued directly to the plywood. At 10 scale miles an hour, noise is not an issue. For the curve into the bakery I used Atlas 24" code 83 sectional track. For turnouts, Atlas code 83 #6 were employed.
