Mojave Subdivision of the Southern Pacific, Bakersfield CA

Jim Niell has a fantastic HO layout that is both a joy to see and a dream to operate. It represents the trackage used by both the Union Pacific and the BNSF railroads to move freight between Bakersfield and Mojave. In the past, Santa Fe used the tracks for their passenger trains, but like the real railroads today, Jim has opted to operate only freight trains.

His layout operates using a DCC power system. There is track detection and signals so the engineer will know when it is clear to proceed.

Jim has a scheduled operating session each month. If you would like to see his layout, contact him for time and directions. Be sure to leave your email address so that he can contact you back. Click Here.
