Darn it if it doesn't look like...

Dear RMWebbers,

 

Found this, had to share, figured the Small-Layout recent-era switching luminaries hereabouts were some of the few ppl who would "see what I see" and "get it"...

 

Anywho,

- started by reviewing the SPINS documentation eBay offerings by Seller "enigmastl" https://www.ebay.com.au/usr/enigmastl/

- found this disk covering the SP LA "Zone 31-35" SPINS documents, covering parts of Anaheim and Santa Ana, https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/224236348606?hash=item34358724be:g:7SsAAOSwPiFepinu

- and from the thumbnails of "Zone 32 Pt2", bounded by Alondra Blvd and Shoemaker Ave 

- headed to Google maps to see what might be still extant...

 

...Well, I'm just going to drop this here https://goo.gl/maps/ygGLgdS942c6KJyZ6

 

and If anyone builds an 4-sided N or HO exhibition layout based on this, (I'll certainly forgive you if tracks 3260 and 3290 happen to end-up joining accross Shoemaker Ave on the model),

 

count me in as Show Ops Crew...

(Hint: "selective compression", Carl Arendt-esque "squzzing", and adapting to "rectangle of 4x1 modules with open area in the middle" formats are absolutely fair-game...)

 

Happy Modelling,

Aim to Improve,

Prof Klyzlr

 

PS the 3-track "3273 / 3240 / 3272" section could well stand-up as a simple proto-nook shelfie with "end run-off" clip-on sections on it's own...

Very interesting idea for a layout.

 

Looking at the area on streetview, it all looks a bit overgrown. How long ago, was the last regular traffic on this line?
