We've been working on a railroad...
The PB&JRR!
The Pacific Bill & Jamie Railroad (PB&JRR)
Arroyo Grande, CA
The PB&JRR has moved, in real life, effective March 29, 1898 (2005)! This web site will remain as an archive but will no longer be maintained. The new Nipomo PB&JRR web site is here: http://www.jf2.com/pbjrr/
Please enjoy this tour of the PB&JRR, located along the central coast of California. Click on a picture for more and bigger pictures on that topic. Questions, comments, suggestions, etc. may be sent to Jamie.
The PB&JRR is an outdoor, "G" scale, non-electrified rail system. Locomotives are battery powered and (mostly) remote controlled. We try to stick with (or near) 1:24. Here's a "Fact Sheet" (in PDF format, 77Kb). [Adobe Acrobat Reader (it's free)]

The outside real dimensions of the layout are about 70 x 35 feet (farthest track separations). I'm guessing there's something over 200 feet of track. Click on an image to explore that area:
