Welcome to the Yosemite Sugar Pine R.R.

Below you'll find over 250 pictures of my railroad. It started as a simple 5 X 9 layout but quickly grew into an 8 x 9 L shaped layout with two flip up yards which you can see below. These yards fold down to give the operators more room to walk around but the also add another 3 feet in both directions making the layout 11 x 12 feet.

I put the pictures in sort of a chronological order so you can see how it started from day one of construction to the present day. Construction of the railroad has been approx. 1 1/2 years off and on as time permitted.

Here is a sample of just the yard and engine facilities area.
