Santa Fe Hereford Sub in HO scale

These are pictures I've taken on my HO scale layout that represents the ATSF's Hereford Subdivision between Amarillo, TX and Clovis NM during the 1995 time period. The layout is on 2 decks in a 25' x 24' garage. There is approx 225' feet of mainline with much more track counting the sidings, staging yards and industry tracks. I host operating session several times during the year. We have a blast running the trains. See the last pic for op session shots.

See here for some video's of the trains in action!

I've been watching your videos and thoroughly enjoy them and would very much like to visit, but I am unable to find where you are located. Please e-mail me your information here to Wichita Falls, Texas. Thanks and again, GREAT JOB!

Sammy, Thanks for opening up your layout to a last minute visit. Very nicely done, well lit, easy to follow, and runs well! Great open vistas, definitely representative of Texas/New Mexico open country. Brian

Very nice layout. I love open prairie country and the grain elevators and railroading that goes with it. Great job overall!

Nice pictures. Tyler hastings

Excellent operations-oriented layout!!! My favorite photos are the ones showing the two decks; very helpful in planning my own National of Mexico HO layout. Thank you very much for the sharing photos and track diagram of your railroad. Very well done - congratulations!

Brian W		25-Aug-2009 13:11
Very impressive, must be a pleasure to operate! Look forward to more photos.

Amazing looking layout! I hope you add more photos in the future.

This is one stunning layout. After operating on it myself I want to say it runs as good as it looks in these pictures. It faithfully replicates the Hereford Sub in 1995. Thanks Sammy for setting up such a great operating session! Hope my own layout will someday be at least in the same ballpark, extending the Santa Fe from Clovis to Belen... JRD (atsf643)

Very nice layout. I drive from College Station to Albuquerque frequently, and the highway parallels the BNSF from Texico, NM to Fort Sumner, NM. I enjoy this part of the drive, because I get to see so many trains. They run continuously in both directions, just a few minutes apart. The elevator at Melrose and the curved track at Texico (shown in your photos) are very familiar to me. Great job! Jim Boone, Texas Eagle Chapter, NRHS
