Eye for Detail Key To Club’s Success
The Black Diamond Lines Model Railroad Club models in HO scale, which is a ratio of 1:87. This means that if a model is 1 foot long, it represents a real-life object that is 87 feet long. (One foot, in HO scale is actually 0.137 of an inch.) The layout occupies approximately 1500 square feet of space, with a track elevation range from 46 inches to 82 inches above the floor.
Above: This engine is an SD70M. MU cables, air hoses, gps receiver, and ditch lights are just a few of the extras that have been added.
Above: An EMD-SD70 Deminstrator. Three were made, 7000, 7001 and 7002, all which can be seen on the BDL right of way. Again extra details have been added for that prototypical look.
The Black Diamond Lines is an active, operating HO scale model railroad club located in Antioch, CA.
