2025 Updates

Ted moved to Idaho in 2021. My best two-legged beer drinking buddy and train pal; GONE! Just prior to his departure he built another train shed next to the house to store a lot of his trains. Whenever he visited SoCAL, he'd stop by and pick up a train to take home.

The last was a LGB freight train. He took a few cars and sold me the rest. It's fun running a Santa Fe freight train AND passenger train.




With all the additional storage space I had to find additional trains to fill the space, right? An Aristocraft C-16 steam locomotive and USA trains custom passenger cars from Gold Coast Station fit inside very nicely. Now I can run three Napa Valley Wine trains.

An Aristocraft Union Pacific 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive pulling UP heavyweight passenger cars compliments my Southern Crescent Limited train aboard the Del Oro Pacific Railroad layout.

An Aristocraft Union Pacific Dash-9 diesel locomotive pulls streamliner passenger cars.

PIKO Southern Pacific passenger train and Aristocraft Napa Valley Wine Train.

Christmas is my favorite time of year to run my trains during Winterfest!








I love steam locomotives the best.





Running my trains aboard the Del Oro Pacific Railroad is the greatest thrill.
