Glad to see Just Trains carrying the flag for Kermit Pauls' amazing creations! Long ways from Bay Area so can't drop in, but thankfully you've given us a glimpse here.

I always loved checking out the layout every time I was in the store. I am going to have to stop into the new location once I am able to get back down and visit

This was my hometown store growing up back when Joan owned it. Very sad the layout had to be torn down, she would let teenage me come and run on the layout when I wanted something a little more than my 4x8 in the garage. Great history on Kermit's structures, Wes. Glad a new location was secured for the store.

I have some great memories of running some of my own D&RGW roster on is layout. Glad I have some of it on video. Will definitely miss this iconic layout!

That's awesome to see. Unfortunately I haven't been there in a long time because I've moved away but it's great to see the layout again.

Although the layout might not mean much or seem impressive to most people, this layout and the store were an important part of my early years in the hobby. I ran just about every kit-bashed and scratch-built model I made here from when I first started out until a few weeks before the store closed and moved to the new location. Most of what I needed to do the work was bought at Just Trains, and inspiration was found around every corner inside. While I’m glad that Wes is keeping things going at the new store, I am sad to see old place close. It was a special part of my growing up that I will always remember. One of these days I’ll edit a video together of my various trips to run on the layout, showing how my models have improved over the years.

It was nice to see that layout in the times that I visited. It is sad that the layout will be no more, but it is nice to see this video of what it was. That said, I never knew the deep history and the involvement of Kermit. Having been a member of the SMRHS I knew of the things that Kermit had done for them, but was not aware of what he did for Just Trains. It is nice to hear that Just Trains is working to preserve the legacy of his work. Lastly, I visited a few months ago, and the news was grim. I am very glad to hear that you found a new location and that Just Trains will live on. When I get the chance to come across the bridge, I will make it a proagative to stop by and give them some more business.

When the layout was remodeled to have the back loop moved out into the store instead of running through the stock area, Bill Shaefer, Ken Dado and I (Jim Rohrbach) helped to fine tune the rough track work and make sense of the wiring. All the while, the scenery was being created and installed. Now, as Wes said, it was all for naught since the store had to move from its original location to another near Buchanan Field. It was a great place to run trains and buy some stuff every now and then. I'm looking forward to making the trip to the new location soon. See you then, Wes!
