LAYOUT PHOTOS

1. North end of layout before addition was built.  This is a general merchandise pier.  Wholesale grocery warehouse is on right and track "exiting" layout to fictitious main line of the Texas Coast Railroad (also fictitious) passed behind pier shed.

 2.  West end of layout, part of new addition.  General merchandise pier is in foreground, with rail spur behind.  Building in back is Texas Gulf Cotton Co. warehouse.

3.  This is how the north end of the layout looks now, since construction of the west end addition.  There is now a smaller pier shed and the former "main line connection" is now the branch to the addition.

4.  The Gulf Harbor Terminal Railway's NW-2 on the turntable at the layout's south end.  The loco is painted to resemble an NW-2 I saw on the Heber Valley Railroad tourist line south of Park City, Utah.

5.  The south end of the layout.  The roundhouse is at left.  The track on the far right is the new "main line connection" that runs past the depot, which is modeled after the former Santa Rosa, California depot.  The business district of the town of Gulf Harbor is in the background.

6.  Looking south from the layout's mid-point.  The Gulf Harbor business district and a couple of residences are at left.  Gulf Harbor Fuel's spur heads off to the upper right, along with a spur to Southern Maritime Supply.  The track at lower right leads to the original general merchandise pier.

7.  The view, looking east, from the end of the new west end addition.  To the left is the Texas Gulf Cotton Co. warehouse and to the right, the truck and rail loading side of the new general merchandise pier.
