Spent the weekend resurrecting Bruce Petty’s Burbank Junction layout in my garage. I only have 3/4 of it up but as it sets is a fantastic switching layout. I added a new span in the center back effectively expanding it to 12’. Like the original it will be a desert scene with a switch that will take it to a center module. That will be a packing house and some groves to add color. I’ll extend the ends of the layout with an additional 9 feet towards the door.
