Greetings from Eureka, California

[Slow Tired and Easy]

Moved to Eureka from Stockton and have not yet built a layout in Eureka. I have not decided if I want to model the Stockton Terminal and Eastern or do a logging layout based in Humboldt county. I really do like the logging engines and the scenery of logging areas.

What part of Stockton did you move from?

I used to work at ST&E (for a short time) and would LOVE to see ST&E models.

Perhaps we have met?

Hey neighbor, I live in Trinidad...work in Eureka everyday. I am building a lumber layout based on the Humboldt County area.

I lived in Colonial Heights area of Stockton, just north of Hammer lane near the fire station. I don't know if we have met I used to get together with my friends John and Stathi Pappas to build models and work on each other's layouts. I miss the trains in Stockton as there are no trains running in Eureka these days.

Hey neighbor, I live in Trinidad...work in Eureka everyday. I am building a lumber layout based on the Humboldt County area.

Trinidad is a beautiful place to live. In this area there is so much history of logging railroads and lumber mills. Is your layout based on a paticular RR or freelanced?

It is freelanced, based on the North Coast Railroad in the early 90's. Trains will eventually go out to the mill in Korbel, then to a lumber sales facility. I have a yard I call the Eureka yard. The track is layed, working on scenery. It is not very big...my 1st layout. Just experimenting with scenery and track work.

When My wife and I purchase a home. I will build it from Willets to Korbel, although it might not be that fun operationally, so I will have to add a few made up industries.
