Puerto Borracho Open House

I travel to California to hangout with friends and see four amazing small layouts they've been working on. Featured in this video are Gary Beatty's On30 Puerto Borracho, Robert Kurner's On30 Typhoon Lagoon Ry, Scott Carter's On30 Cinnamon Creek Railroad, and the On30/On18 Punta Margarita. Many, many thanks to Gary Beatty and his family for hosting this event! A good time was had by all!
Thanks for tuning in, amigos!

Most enjoyable tour of those model railroads 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂 X 5

[@pkokkie3]

I love them little loco locomotives! 👍🏻

[@1800clyde]

What fun . . . both to see and to make. "Whimsy" comes to mind. Mucho appreciative of all the detail, creativity, and craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing.

[@scottc3858]

That's one well crafted video Dave. Thanks a bunch for joining us.

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

It was great to see you man

[@normanrowe2831]

Well, that was a treat. I noticed a recurring theme. Southwest topography, mountains, palm trees, ocean, trains and Tequila. What an excellent combination. Thanks for taking us along. See ya.

[@thomascatalano6936]

all awesome - thanks for sharing your visit!

[@Seanmmvi]

I had a lot of fun that morning and it was great meeting you, Dave!

[@WMTrackdog]

Cool very cool!

[@stevemellin5806]

Nice layouts thank you

[@danielbanks7500]

I wanted so much to be able to attend this event but at 1500 miles away, it wasn't going to work out. THANK YOU for going and grabbing some great video of these very fun layouts!

[@MrHighelf09]

All 4 are great. What an inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

[@badkittynomilktonight3334]

I wish I had known about this, I'm in SoCal, My Borracho Springs pizza layout would have fit right in.

[@MakeItWithCalvin]

Really well-done video and I wholeheartedly agree that there was a ton of creativity on show there. Proof that you can do a lot in a small space.

[@caesarillion]

Cinnimon looks a bit like turds and dung beetles. Is he holding out on us? Hehehheheh. Rejoice, I just found an old box full of my demolished collecton of pre 1920 HO vehicles. Finding money in the street? Felt like that for sure. Now to carefully rebuild and upgrade all. The Mercer Raceabout will have a -damaged wheel and rocky desert break down-.... in site of one of my new/old ore bins I've been constructing for the Fortune Mine. Excelsior! Thailand Paul/Bangkok BTW There is a large train group online here for the Bangkok area. Amazing!

[@onkelmichl3300]

Ganz hervorragende Motive -Danke fürs Zeigen.

[@josephkreissphotography]

Thanks for sharing this video with us. I’ve been talking back and forth with these guys on social media and text for a while but never heard their voices!!! I have the Mosquito Creek Lumber Company 0n30 swamp logging theme layout.

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

Awesome!

[@jimmanley4300]

I made it onto KZbin! 🤣

[@ThunderMesaStudio]

You're almost famous!

[@TheInterubranMan23]

Man I love on30 and on18 getting some idea about this

[@davevan8864]

I'm inspired....but not sure weather inspired to build a new layout or take up stamp collecting. But thanks for the show!

[@WillieBeard]

So much inspiration in this 10 minutes.

[@ColorMeMozart]

Cinnamon Creek was my favorite but they were all awesome!

[@pbyfr]

Excellent layouts. Thanks for sharing.

[@74surfboards]

@ThunderMesaStudio What?!?! On30 in SoCal and no Jacumba Tungsten Company representation? How does one get notified of such amazing Oh In Thirty-ing events? Fantastic creativity from all... Thank You Dave for taking the time to film/edit/post another amazingly inspirational video. Byron Vista, CA

[@Bobkurner]

This is the big goofy bastard with the Typhoon Lagoon Layout. Are you on facebook at all? Ive only been able to find your layout on the carendt micro layout website from 2010. We'd love to have you as part of our loose confederacy of on30 train nerds.

[@kenmunozatmmrrailroad6853]

This is great!

[@railwaykangaroo6196]

This inspires me quite a lot for what I want to do for my layout. However if I did anything as small as any of these I'd likely prefer to model it in N scale to fit more in a small space. I think my favourite of these is the Cinnamon Creek but they're all impressive.

[@johnbusby215]

Well there's hope the Ferrocariril Ocidental Spag y Hetti will end up being more than boxed trains collecting dust after all. Was beginning to disspare with with the small odd shaped space I have to experiment with. Those layouts are not big at all.

[@hexazalea1793]

What are the dimensions of Cinnomon creek that looks very narrow

[@jerrysmith1929]

Happily defying prototype accuracy in pursuit of artistic expression and fun.
