Kevin Wills presents “Second Saturday” Zoom layout tour
October 12 @ 9:30 am - 11:00 am
The October “Second Saturday” Zoom layout tour will be held at 10am on October 12, featuring local modeler Kevin Wills. Kevin’s layout is a freelanced mainline extension of the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific lines through the western Sierra Nevada mountain area roughly set in the 1980s. His 33’x13′ basement layout transits three levels, with staging, main yard with turntable and engine maintenance facilities, switching in various towns and long mainline stretches of track. A train can take up to an hour to transit the entire layout at scale speed. The mainline is fully signaled with a full-hardware CTC panel. A branch line is included in dark territory just to make it more interesting. Scenery is about 75-80% complete.
We will open the Zoom meeting at 9:30 for fellowship and tech rehearsal, and Kevin’s presentation will start at 10:00am and last about an hour. Zoom info to join the meeting will be posted here a few days before the event. As always, we plan to post a recording of the event afterwards on the 4dPNRMovies YouTube channel.
