Bruce Chubb

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bruce Chubb is an American model railroader. Since the 1940s, he has been creating layouts called the Sunset Valley Lines. The first Sunset Valley was a Lionel tinplate layout on a tabletop. In 1954, he started work on a basement-filling freelance railroad in an ambiguous geographic setting. Set in 1950, the HO scale railroad theoretically interchanged with Frank Ellison's Delta Lines, Whit Towers' Alturas & Lone Pine, and Ned Browne's Durand & Irish Grove. In the 1990s, Chubb built a new Sunset Valley, this one a 55 foot by 60 foot multi-deck layout set in the Pacific Northwest.

Chubb is also the author of How To Operate Your Model Railroad.
