HO Scale   Updated: 3/29/2009 Y2007 saw the start of a project to add a new town, Pleasanton, to our Canyon Division, near the existing Hearst siding. Hearst will be relocated a few feet east. Work continues this year. Senior Member Jeff Robinson is meticulously scratchbuilding models of authentic and historic buildings in the town. Unfortunately, its way back of the layout and hard to see from the public walkway. So this is the best view you will get !
