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. Since then I have started automatizing trains running on the layout. I am also the model railroad maintainer. This blog describes various updates on the Randall project and I maintain a separate blog for all my electronics not directly related to Randall.
2023-03-26 - Spring Cleaning
Category RandallOrion is leading a “spring cleaning” project. While I vacuumed the banisters behind the glass doors, Orion took on dusting off the water stream next to the Sultan canyon:
The water stream, before vs after.
We’re proceeding cautiously. There are some little details (fishermen, boats, etc) that we don’t want to damage.
I also dusted the roof of the buildings on the Branchline (YouBet and Bear Creek) while he was dusting off a bit of the Fairfield area to get a sense of the task.
We decided our next move is to take care of the entire Fairfield Industrial town. Once we’re more confident with our techniques (as in “do not destroy any of the delicate structures”), we’ll deal with the larger Stockton town another day when Allen is also available.
