Model Railroading > "Memories from the Past"Date: 10/17/16 07:06 "Memories from the Past" Author: KeyRouteKen When I lost my Sister in 2009, a lot of her belongings went to her daughter Shelley (my Niece) in Florida.Among the personal belongings were THREE SP freight cars built by my grandfather some 82-years ago.They used to operate on the famous Basement Railroad in East Oakland. This past weekend, Shelley sent me a photograph of a wonderful display she created in her Florida home.

I really like those shelves, did she make them herself or are they commercially available? Thanks for sharing! Mike Date: 10/17/16 20:03 Re: "Memories from the Past" Author: warrenpweiss It's great that these models are being taken care of so well.
Warren Date: 10/17/16 21:09 Re: "Memories from the Past" Author: garr Very nice tribute and display. Agree that the shelves are interesting.
Jay Date: 10/18/16 10:55 Re: "Memories from the Past" Author: Inthehole I understand about the sentiment, but live steam trains were meant to be run. Sad to see for me, but again, I understand the family appreciation and at least they are not in some basement rotting away ( as some of his stuff is right now) but on a display that Vic would be proud of.
