Steve,

Glad to read your comments.  I didn't try to model it after any beach, but
bits and pieces of all the beaches along the CA coast.  It was a fun project
but I used more tan plates that I thought I would to do the beach.

There's talk that we might have one whole side of a train layout done with
more of the coastal theme.  At our next show, there are plans to add a
lighthouse and possibly a trestle bridge.  So who knows, maybe a section
will be the Venice beach area or the Santa Monica pier!

Thanks again for replying Steve!

If any of you have traveled through Southern California, there are spots
where the train tracks are right alongside the beach, so what better thing
to include in a portion of a layout from the Southern California Layout
Train Club.

Here's a link to my Brickshelf page where I've posted some of the pics from
my rendition of the California Coastline done in LEGO when it was on public
display at a recent train show.

Hope you enjoy the pics!  And let me know what you think.

One of my fave parts of the layout, that's what I think.

I especially like the crazy surfer cars... rods, buggies, big trucks, etc.
You just need a VW van and a woodie and some guy screaming "where's Gidget!"
(er, maybe that's the wrong era? :-) )
