@pUNfokpzcEIbwrY 撮影終了後に後片付けをするという取り決めがなされていたはずですが、現場へのアクセスが困難で撤去作業が行えず、結局、すべての客車と機関車がそのまま放置されてしまったのです。

@KarlJunes @C_JuniorsMagic Wrong film; the wreckage is from the filming of the Ring of Fire (1961)

Since it was Muni Heritage Weekend recently, here's a chart showing its genealogy! Fairly extensive!!

@SFCCM Yes I did! It’s been forever since I last went, so it was must-go spot during my day out!

San Francisco once again!

Track soldered and glued down ✅

Foam board glued ✅

elevation built up ✅

building location finalized ✅

street marked out ✅

still a lot to do, but it’s finally moving along at a steady pace!

Took one of those cheap and crude cable car unpowered models and turned it into a coach. It is a little big compared to the rest of the stock, but still plausible.

Mt.Shasta wildfire closed the UP shasta line, all traffic to be rerouted over donner after the line near Hotlum was engulfed in flames

Was back down on the Sierra Railroad again

[Alpal / Allan @_alpaljpeg]

@SFCCM So true!

[Alpal / Allan @_alpaljpeg]

@SFCCM OOh that makes more sense. Error on my part then LOL

[Alpal / Allan @_alpaljpeg]

@SFCCM Al Schwoerer’s photo caption and original description on FB reference the Park & Ocean railway’s terminus at La Playa rather the the Cliff House station up on 48th and Point Lobos.

Currently building an 1890-1910 era urban scenery diorama. This is heavily inspired by San Francisco and surrounding bay area cities.

Scratchbuilt a utility pole and am currently painting up some buildings.

Will post as i progress!
