Model Railroading > West Coast Trains & SMRRS Open House, 11/16/24

Yesterday, on my way back from Alta, I stopped by West Coast Trains in Chicago Park, north of Colfax
and Sacramento Model Railroad Historical Society layout just off Winter Street I-80 exit in northern
Sacramento.
West Coast Trains is a hidden gem located in a large former Nevada County Narrow Gauge freight shed.
The owner buys old collections of all sorts of model trains and sells a variety of things in the large building.
Noted yesterday, was a big assortment of HO cars with metal wheeled trucks and Kadee couplers going for
less than $10 per car.
The SMRHS has nice HO and HO narrow gauge layout  open to the public yesterday & today.
Two photos attached.
Regards, Jim Evans

That looks like the Yolo Causeway between west Sacramento and Davis, my old haunt.

Exactly right.  The SMRHS layout has a number of famous scenes depicted on the HO layout, including the SP Davis passenger station, and the WP's Honeymoon Tunnels and Keddie Wye.
