HO Scale 1930’s Temple, Texas Historical Layout
In partnership with the adjacent Railroad and Heritage Museum, the HO group has constructed a layout modeling the Temple Santa Fe depot and roundhouse area as it existed in the steam era of the 1930s. The layout is the "Temple Historical Layout."
Visitors must see the perfect model replicas of the Santa Fe depot, the Harvey House and the Temple Ice Plant.

The layout to date includes award winning scratch built replicas of the Santa Fe Depot, Harvey House, and first Ice House. Dan Ladd has constructed the Depot and Harvey House. James Bush built the Ice House.
Other members have contributed to the construction of the roundhouse, turntable, oil storage tanks, and city buildings. The roundhouse was selectively compressed down to 12 stalls due to a lack of space. The original roundhouse had 33 stalls. Work on scenery and structures is ongoing.
