Layout Overview - New Modern Day Switching Layout HO Scale

Today I introduce my new layout, the Vernon & South Los Angeles (VSLA). The replaces the Santa Ana Industrial Lead. I did not like the way the layout room was configured before, and I had to change it to make it more comfortable and relaxing. I hope you enjoy the new layout!

Any products discussed I am not compensated for in any way and just mention them because I like them and the are good products for me.
