The Randall Museum in San Francisco hosts a large HO-scale model model railroad. Created by the Golden Gate Model Railroad Club starting in 1961, the layout was donated to the Museum in 2015.

This blog describes various updates on the Randall project and I maintain a separate blog for all my electronics not directly related to Randall.
