In This Episode of Behind the Rails, Orange Empire Railway Museum goes on location to OERM member Bill Everett's traction layout. This is an amazing O scale traction layout that is virtually all scratch built by the hand of Bill.
I went on a layout tour in the Santa Barbera area, Bill's layout was the third one I visited and I ended up staying the whole day there! Bill is wonderful to talk to. He is also a WWII vet having taken part in the D-Day invasion and fought his way all the way to Germany. Not only is the trolley collection impressive, so is his Trolley paraphernalia collection as well.
This layout appeared in the December 2011 issue of Model Railroader.

This effort is off the charts. There are very few humans that can accomplish something like this. Outstanding Mr. Everett!

It's not at the museum. It's stored in Bill Everette's home in Santa Barbera.
