The highlight of all the layout displays I saw at the recent 2009 Roseville “International Railfair” (medium sized model train show, don’t get too excited) was the Northern California Narrow Gaugers On30 Sectional Layout. This beautifully detailed layout features craftsman-level modeling and some excellent structures and weathering.
To see some photos of the layout from a few weeks previous at the Concord hobbyshop show, look here.
I talked to Dave Silvernail, a self-described greenhorn to the club. He built this impressive little class A climax from a backwoods miniatures kit.

Here’s a view entering the major town on the 8X16 layout.





The detail on most of the modules is fascinatingly meticulous.



There are plenty of great miniscenes, and the orientation of the structures on the modules add interest as well.
