clark baumann - Southern pacific RR &
CR&B RR (HO)
Clark Baumann’s Layout is located in Burbank.
This HO garage layout has two decks and features two railroads, the Southern Pacific of the late 1960s to early 1970s, and Clark's own fictitious CR&B RR, a short line with lots of switching. The upper level scenery is based on the Tehachapi area.. Clark used town names from the area, but none of the models represent anything that is or was there. The lower level is a mixture of Bakersfield and the Burbank branch. The railroad supports operations by up to four operators with a dispatcher located in the room. Car routing, scheduling, manifests, and switch lists are managed using the JMRI computer program. Every hour, an automated passenger run is made by either the San Joaquin Daylight, the San Francisco Chief, or the California Zephyr.
