Our layouts are the core of our existence. As a club, we devote our time and effort (and money) into making the biggest, greatest train displays we can.

One major goal in our layout design is to turn our track and buildings into a living, breathing, detailed city, complete with all the necessities of a thriving urban development.

 

Our layout didn't change much from the Fullerton show, but we added more detail and fun stuff throughout our urban complex.

Adrian replaced his red suspension bridge with a red truss bridge, giving the port area a more industrial feel.

It's here! SCLTC's biggest and best layout yet! This configuration is a whopping 26 by 34 feet.

Major highlights include two ten-foot Technic bridges, a miniature version of Mission San Juan Capistrano, a fully operating train yard, a bus terminal, a engine maintenance plant, an airport administration complex, a jampacked residential zone, and one dazzling seven-foot-tall skyscraper.

This was our second layout. At 25 by 20 feet, it seemed almost double the size of our first layout.

Some major highlights included a movie studio, a suspension bridge, a working drive-in theater, a bustling residential/commercial zone, and an elevated train.

As our first display ever, we had to decide what kinds of things we wanted to put in our layout.

At 20 by 11 feet, this layout included a port, a residential area, a yard, a university, a park, an airport, and an industrial area.
