Joe Shares Photos of His San Juan Creek 12ft x 8ft Layout

Joe Graffi has kindly sent in some photos of his layout to share, and writes:

“I model in HO and these are some recent shots of the 12’x8’ layout. The time is late steam, prior to 1950 in the area of N.W. New Mexico & S.W. CO. Most of the landscaping is from photos I took along the Cumbres & Toltec. The town is San Juan Creek and is supported by: San Juan Lumber Co. and San Juan Coal, as well as Talones Packing Co. (cattle) and Ochs Oil Distribution). The local railroad is “San Juan & Central”. The “Santa Fe” passes through and has a station at Grants N.M.”
