Glen Frazer

This intricately detailed module is an accurate representation of an actual Santa Fe location in Northern California. The siding in model form is approximately 1500 scale feet in length. The four sections together have a length of about 20 actual feet. The Glen Frazer module set was featured in the April, May and August/2003 issues of Rail Model Journal.

Mojave

The yard started out with the three sections on the left to provide nine stub ended storage tracks. The narrow, crossover module on the right was available from a previous layout and it lent itself well for overcoming the difficulties that a stub end yard entails. i.e. With this arrangement we can now escape power sets after their run.

Hearst

Hearst is based on a portion of the historic Niles Canyon area about a mile east of Sunol, CA. This location on the ex-WP (current UP) main is part of what was the last section of the transcontinental railway to be completed to San Francisco.

Reynard

Reynard is a two section module that provides flexibility to a larger set-up through its 90 degree turn. Its fictitious industry is a plastics unloading facility.

Cottonwood Creek

Here's a short length of mainline that offers some nice scenery including a bridge over a small creek.

Sheridan

This module provides another industrial spur which serves a large grain elevator.

North Bay

This module set is being modeled after the UPS North Bay intermodal facility in Northern California. When complete, the five sections will provide a 2300 scale foot passing siding and two, 1600 scale foot intermodal loading tracks.

Llano

Another short length of mainline with some very nice scenery.

Styx

This module provides great flexibility to a larger layout through its 45 degree corner.

Wyeth

Wyeth is a unique module that allows the Free-mo layout to be configured with a branch line. This module opens up many interesting layout arrangement possibilities.

Shandin

The Shandin loop provides the return capability for an 'out-and-back' operating mode. Its extra trackage can be used as staging tracks or as additional passing sidings. This five section module features a broad 48" minimum track radius and was constructed entirely by one person!

Additional modules in the Southwest region.
On several occasions, the Northern California Free-mo group has combined efforts with other nearby groups to create even larger layouts. These joint set-ups have provided many enjoyable moments for everyone involved. Here are some views of a few of these additional module sets.
