Jerry Boudreaux's Santa Fe Layout Tour part 1 - construction and scenery

This video features Jerry Boudreaux' layout tour of his HO scale "Pasquinel Division" of the Santa Fe Railroad. It doubles as a layout construction and scenery clinic, as Jerry shows details about his framing, track, electrical, and scenery techniques. This 1200 square foot HO scale model railroad running thru the wilds of 1967 Arizona features a 650 foot mainline, large yard, and a number of smaller towns. The Pasquinel is fully operational and 14 person crews keep it humming once per month, with freights often exceeding 50 cars and 6 units, 14 car passenger trains with sparkling warbonnets in the lead, and southwest mountain scenery of the red cliffs and distant mountain vistas of northern Arizona.
Jerry gave this Zoom presentation to the monthly "Second Saturday" layout tour event on March 9, 2024, sponsored by the NMRA (nmra.org)'s 4th division of its Pacific Northwest Region (4dPNR.com). Jerry subsequently gave a "Part 2" presentation on his operations design and paperwork on May 11, 2024, and you can watch it now here: . • Jerry Boudreaux's Layo...

Hi Jerry, love the layout. I remember us looking over your plans 10-15 years ago in Utah. Nice to see it become reality.

I have run on Jerry's layout a few times and everything just works. Except when the power goes out in half the town because of a squirrel lol.
