Not Beverly but Holmby Hills. That layout was originally done in the '80s by Golden Saw, studio builder guys who I shared a workshop with. Part of the layout circled the pool. Terry from GS told me about going up to see Rod about something and he came out of the poolhouse in a bathrobe with a locomotive in one hand and a can of spray paint in the other.
Rod had them make a sign that said "Seaview Cottage" for the front gate to confuse the tour bus people, since you couldn't see the ocean from there and it certainly wasn't a cottage.
GS also worked on remodeling the Record Plant. They borrowed my planer to mill the rough paneling they had taken down and it "found" the bullet that Phil Spector had shot at John Lennon. Bob from GS who had been the engineer there at the time came running into my office and showed it to me. Since it was lead it really didn't do much damage to the planer. I think they had the plank framed and gave it back to the Record Plant.
