Silicon Valley Lines: Layout Tour - Victoria

Rogner Rock and Coal is a new customer of the SVL. Despite originally being located off line, the company decided to relocate their entire facility in order to gain more paying customers. This complex was scratch-built by a former member of SVL, and donated to the club when he needed to find a better home for this fabulous model. Speaking of scratch-building, Bill Goodenough, one of our recent recruits, has been working a large Ice platform to keep the Pacific Fruit Express cooled off.
