User Showcase - Steve Seidensticker

Steve Seidensticker was President of the San Diego Model Railroad Museum in Balboa Park for 11 years and is now owner and operator of the Gopher Canyon Line which is a G Scale outdoor garden layout in San Diego, CA. As the facebook page describes, the trains are about the size of a “loaf of bread”. Steve has installed a BlueRail board in a scratch-built GG-20 on a GP-9. Steve recently ran this loco at an operating session at Gary Siegel’s garden railroad in Santa Barbara. With the BlueRail board, the loco is able to pull a maximum of 14 cars on a level track and 7-8 cars on an incline. Here are some photos of the loco, which is believed to be the first bluetooth “loaf of bread”.
