Stockyard on Bayou City and Gulf center view
I photographed this scene on the Bayou City & Gulf RR to give me some ideas about building a small stockyard for my model railroad. This model railroad in located in the back room of Houston's best hobby shop, Papa Ben's. I have been a customer of Papa Ben's even since he opened in 2002. That layout is open to the public most Saturday afternoons.
The stockyard I am planning on building will be based on a Santa Fe Railway prototype and will measure 65' x 65' scale feet. That is assuming I can get enough of the right scale lumber (in styrene strips) to construct the very delicate fences. This stockyard isn't completely accurate but has a good feel about it. Another modeler in Houston had several very good stockyards in N scale, but he got bored with his huge layout and tore it up. Oh well. Pictures on that layout plus another Santa Fe layout in HO scale with excellent stockyards are located in this same album for other modelers' work.
