Rob Spangler’s Western Pacific 8th Subdivision

Rob’s HO Western Pacific’s 8th Subdivision is a proto-freelanced extension of the WP set in Utah in the 1978-1982 era.  The layout is approximately 30 x 30 ft.  The layout has been under construction for just over six years and is nearly 100% complete.  The scenery is outstanding with a custom painted backdrop.  There are many large scratch-built and kit bashed buildings to see.  The layout has two levels with a lower deck staging yard and a branch line. Construction details include the use of structural backdrops to reinforce the 60-foot-long serpentine peninsula.  Rob uses codes 83, 70 and 55 flex-track installed with caulk.  The control is NCE DCC.
