Model Railroading > Tiger Stripes 'n Trolley Poles

I hooked up with 5 Chime in Crockett today to run a few trains...
I brought along some Pacific Electric stuff, WAY out of context for this layout, but Hey...
Photos 1&2.  PE 5210 (AS-616) passing through Davis CA (?!!)
Photos 3&4.  ..and crossing the bridge at Banicia (also alarming).  A word about the PE caboose:  This was an easy One-Night-Wonder project.  The PE had, I think, 10 of these- basically an SP C-30-1 without a cupola.  So, I took a Walthers C-30-1, removed the cupola, sanded the roof smooth, and added a thin sheet of styrene- trimed to fit.  Ta-Da!

Nice looking bridge !!!  Is that scratchbuilt or a kitbash of some of the Walthers bridges ? -- Ken 

I'm pretty sure it's the mother of all scratchbuilds

That Depot is very distinctive and part of my old home town, yes Davis. When my dad had a deskjob the last two years at Travis AFB, he moved the family to Davis.  I was there from 6th grade until college - it was a great town to grow up in.  And train watching as a bonus!

Anyone know who built the Davis, CA depot model? I was the relief station agent there.
