Dave's newest project!
 We
at the Old Cannery Railroad are applying the finishing touches to our fantastic
suspended model railroad, the largest west of the Mississippi. This G gauge
railroad contains four separate loops and totals over a quarter of a mile of
solid brass track that winds itself around 2 showrooms and even makes a
trip into the warehouse.
The four trains that make their journeys through the store include a
antique
three engine diesel train, consisting of 2 Santa Fe FA-1 Warbonnet's and a FB-1
engine pulling 12 very sleek shiny and beautifully detailed aluminum passenger cars.
This vintage train was in service from the 1950's thru the 1970's. All Aboard!
The second train is a
 modern Union Pacific container train with a
number of hoppers that are just like the ones that pass right next door to
the Old Cannery every day. This awesome train is over 40 feet long and is pulled
by 3 powerful SD-45 diesel locomotives.
Next check out the Mikado 2-8-2 Steam Locomotive as it winds
its way around the warehouse and store.
This is a G scale reproduction of the more than 1000 trains that were put into
service in the US between the first and second World War. Our train is pulling
17 box cars and tank cars, some of the these cars are exact replicas of the
originals and some are just for fun.
 Last
but certainly not least is the historic Old Santa Fe 2-6-0 Steamer that chugs
its way along track that circles our front counter and passes by a painted mural
of the local area. It pulls passenger cars of such detail that you can see the
passengers relax with their coffee's as they pass above.
The best way to view the Old Cannery Railroad
is up close and personal on our viewing platform. It is designed for young and
old "kids" and offers a great view of the layout.
Stop by the Old Cannery Furniture Warehouse
and enjoy the trains as well as our great furniture bargains, and above all
Have Fun!
Every engineer regardless of age can find something to enjoy
at The Old Cannery.
