Wil Van Oldenmark's layout is still growing. The wizard of Vista is still at it
building the grandest Marklin layout in southern California.
In fact all of California. In fact maybe on the whole West Coast west of the Rockies!

So let's take a look at some of the latest things he's up to.




The engine terminal or Bahnbetriebwerks with the Marklin/Fleischmann turntable.



The BR 10 is getting ready to board the turntable. Is that a decapitated Lilliput crane on the siding?



The BR 10 is almost on the turntable.



The station of Weldam. Behind it we see one of the many staging yards.



The yard tracks at Weldam.The BR 89 has just been fueled up for test work in the yard.



A Swiss visitor on Wil's layouts.



The small engine yard which Wil uses to perplex guest operators.



The Diesel refueling yard and small storage yard. On the main a Rolling Road Train has derailed. Fortunately there
were no injuries.

John Oberhauser and Rudi Pfeiffer are getting instructions from Wil on their tasks.



The Master Wil in great form.
