- If you like urban industrial switching, you'll love seeing this HO layout tour by Keith Jordan. His model railroad focuses on an area of downtown Los Angeles called "the Patch", reached by an "S" curve weaving between buildings. In this video, Keith gives the history of the area with photos of many of the iconic buildings there, shows the final design and construction of his layout, and discusses how he regularly has friends over to operate it.
This presentation was recorded at a Zoom meeting of the forth division of the Pacific Northwest Region of the National Model Railroad Association on May 14, 2022, aka 4DPNR of the NMRA. NMRA has many local groups around the world. Visit www.nmra.org/ to learn more.
This is great! Thank you for the presentation
You're welcome!
I've now watched this three times, and I never tire of it. A very nice presentation! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great vid on L.A.’s Patch industrial railroading. Love the way the kind of condensed industrial space from real life is represented in this kind of narrow switching layout. Some great historical information on the different companies that were rail served in the Patch. Marvelous historical photos and documentary. Really adds to the story the modeled spurs and building tell. Very interesting and entertaining.
Glad you enjoyed it!
thank you for the great detailed video as great watching
from Australia
One of my favorite layouts!
We agree!
I remember this layout!., from an issue of Model Railroader
Same here!
This takes me back to my childhood. Innthe early 50’s, I lived in the general vicinity of 1st street near where the 101 freeway crosses now. My nursery school was on the east side of the river, opposite the yards.
That exposure probably influenced my interest in railroads later in my life.
And yes, 6th street bridge is gone.
This experience
Glad you enjoyed it!
I very much like this video, all the vintage photos and the SF film at the end. Is Keith still working on the O-Scale project railroad?
Yes he is! :)
Great layout of an area I hope to incorporate in my own layout… someday.
Was it intentional to model the actual Paddy’s Pub from “Always Sunny in Philadelphia”? The actual building used for its exterior shots is prominently featured on the layout.
💯💯💯
Spot a New Haven boxcar at the toy warehouse…..completely legit.
What if you don't want to duplicate what's out there you want to create something that only you see how does that translate into laying out to return track of a train coming back to the mountains one and a half feet higher than when it went into tall on the end how many loops does it make inside the hill these are the ideas that I need answers to please come back running and starting engage have been collecting since 2000 I can't believe how the prices have jumped
