James Peterson’s Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Railway, Dallas District

HO Scale

The HO scale Gulf Lines is a model of the Santa Fe Railway in Dallas in 1960. Actual Santa Fe plans have been used to accurately depict the railroad from milepost 44 in Oak Cliff, through East Dallas Yard, to milepost 53.4 near the Texas State Fair Grounds. Selective compression reduces this mainline to approximately 250 feet or about four scale miles. The layout is single-decked with wide aisles. Three large staging yards represent Cleburne, Gainesville, and Dallas Union Terminal.

The layout is located on the second floor in a purpose-built room above the garage. Enter through the front door and up the stairs. The layout is not accessible to those who are mobility impaired.
