Lee Christopher's McCloud Railway Layout Pictures |

|
 |
We'll start our tour of Lee's layout in Mount Shasta City, where a string of empties are seen waiting for the McCloud Railway on the interchange track. |

SD38 #37 and SD38-2 #39 are seen here crossing Mount Shasta Blvd. during switching operations in Mount Shasta City. The #37 started out as an Overland brass import that Lee painted and detailed to match the prototype. |

Meanwhile, the #37 approaching the end of the tail track. |

Lee continues to build more of the layout, and additional photos will be posted here as he continues his fine work. Thanks again, Lee! |
