Paul Scoles - Pelican Bay Railway & Navigation Co

[S&S RR]

I started this thread today on hearing the news of Paul Scoles passing. I was lucky enough to visit and photograph Paul's layout twice over the years and will present a few of the photographs in this thread as a tribute to Paul.  I would also like to invite anyone else that was lucky enough to visit and photograph his Pelican Bay Railway & Navigation System to post their pictures here for others to enjoy.

Here are a couple to get things started.  More to follow over the next few days.

I wasn't one of the lucky ones to visit this layout but I've seen the videos. Not the same thing as being there. Thanks for sharing the photos with the rest of us!

Thanks for the pictures John.


I can't believe I won't get to see that layout, your photos show so much more of the layout than the videos I've seen. What a great railroad.


Please post more pictures if you have them.....

I have more pictures and will post them for Paul - This is one of my favorite layouts.  Paul had many publications and I would suggest you look them up.  I shot all these pictures free hand - no tripod - so hope I'm doing justice to Paul's great modeling work.

As requested, here are a few more pictures of Paul's layout.
