Part 2: 3 modules of the Mojave Desert layout in storage 5 photos by Kim Nipkow
Kim Nipkow built a beautiful Mojave Desert Style Layout for the 15th Convention in 2012 in HO Scale Back in 2015, he decided to sell this layout but he could not find any interested modeller. After a while, he wanted to scrap it. I was able to save 3 modules and was storing these in the attick. I finally decided to place these modules in my shop across the Mormon Rocks and Hill 582 modules. Here are some photos to get an idea how it looks: click here The size is: Total lenght = 350 cm and width = 70 cm. These modules have been installed after the windows replacement in Summer 2018 (see above).

Part 4: Hill 582 Diorama transfer (February 18, 2018) 19 photos
The right rear side of my shop becomes the home of different dioramas and modules. The latest addition is the Hill 582 diorama made by Kim Nipkow in 2013. It was standing under the TV on top of the O scale modules. Now, it is just left of the Mormon Rocks. In other words, icons of famous Cajon Pass are now together on display.
