Model Railroading > Pelican Bay Railway & NavigationDate: 07/31/15 08:42 Pelican Bay Railway & Navigation Author: SilvertonRR100 Just heard that the PBR&N is being dismantled. Sad end for a layout we are all familiar with. This larger Sn3 layout set on NW California in the late 1800s was a sight to see and operate. Builder Paul Scoles passed away early this year (or late last year, I can remember) and now the layout will be removed and equipment sold.

One such example you can read about is here:
