The San Diego Arizona & Eastern HO layout at the Museum. Mix of trains (including a Spanish Ave Bullet train going 94 mph) and ending with my U-50's pulling 14 cars and then 39. Enjoy...

Running trains at the San Diego Arizona & Eastern. This was the "soft" opening of the Museum. Open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays 11 - 4 in Balboa Park, San Diego, CA.

On the San Diego Arizona & Eastern layout, we have several trains. The blue Santa Fe engines are Broadway Limited models. The Big Blow Gas Turbine is a Scaletrains Rivet Counter. Spencer of Thomas fame is from Bachman. UP Spirit of Union Pacific is from Athearn Genesis. Enjoy!

Just east of the Campo Railroad Museum is the Motor Transport Museum. Antique vehicles in all kinds of conditions are scattered about the grounds. When the DJI Mini 2 zooms into the old International Harvester truck, next to it is what looks like a large engine - diesel maybe? The San Diego Arizona Eastern tracks are right next to the complex.

Shot video with a DJI Mini 2. This is the original Mission of San Diego. Most people assume that the Presidio Mission is the first Mission.

Further demolishing of the old stadium in San Diego. Only a 1/3 of it left. New (smaller) stadium being built right next to the old. Shot with a DJI Mini 2 drone in 2.7K. Imagine a drone that, when folded, is the same size as a regular cell phone but about four times as thick.

Went down Lana Dr. and Jamar Dr. with my Mavic Mini 2. 12/21/2020 at about 5:30 p.m.

Shot at 140' above the ground from a DJI Mini 2 in 4K. First we see the Cuyamaca Mountains, then Palomar Mountain, Black Mtn. (just north of Mira Mesa), then what is called the Golden Triangle (Business district) then Mount Solidad (above La Jolla), Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, Point Loma, San Diego Bay, Coronado Islands, Downtown San Diego, The Mesa (a flat topped mountain in Mexico), Mount Miguel and back to the sunrise.

Flew over the demo of the stadium and some views of the possible new field? DJI mini 2

This is what was called the "Impossible Railroad" built in 1915 between San Diego and El Centro, CA. The mountains east of San Diego are not well suited for a railroad and at one point the tracks dip down south into Mexico and through Tecate (of Tecate beer fame, where it is still brewed) and back north into the United States south of San Diego. There are plans by the Mexican Government to rent these tracks and run freight trains from Tecate to Plaster City, CA where Union Pacific trains still run and could pick up the freight to take East. If these tracks are repaired, maybe there could be excursion trains running down through Carrizo Gorge and the Goat Canyon trestle, the largest curved wooden trestle in the world.

Went for a short night flight of a street with Christmas Lights nearby.

Running trains on the San Diego Arizona Eastern HO scale layout. The Museum is closed to the public, but crews can come in and do track cleaning and "testing". During one scene you will hear a section of layout being cut out - loudly. Anyway, only two of us were running trains and we started out westbound as usual, but had to take a reverse loop back eastward because of so noted mainline being removed. All UP units including some heritage units (Spirit of UP, SP and Virginian) of mine. Mixed freights and a bobber caboose.

See Steam and Diesel engines pulling lot of stuff. At the end, watch a mixed consist of old and modern cars. Enjoy!

Shot from three different locations in Coronado. San Diego Bay Bridge, then across from Downtown San Diego and then the beach near The Hotel Del Coronado. Last shot is of the dunes that spell out "CORONADO BEACH"..

First a 360 degree spin around. You will see Mt. Soledad, Black Mtn., Palomar Mtn, Laguna and Cuyamaca Mtns, Mt. Miguel and back around to Ballast Point (Point Loma). Then coming down with the sunset.
