The Denver and Rio Grande Southern Railroad.

Update....1.2010. OK, so we just had the worst winter storm in about 5 years, here. Good time to work on the layout. I have removed the DeLoach Metals building from the layout. I am moving the town of ToPoint, NM. into that location. It is kind of a homage to some of the work of Malcolm Furlow. Winding street with a very steep grade, buildings hanging on edges of cliffs, etc. A couple pictures of the start of construction are below. I hope everyone has a great winter working season. Stay warm! Mike............
Well yes, I finally started my new layout. It will be dual guage. Mostly On3. But with O standard Mixed in for effect. I really grew up with my dad in On3, along with some of his friends. Then we moved over to Sn3, and that is where my dad models to this day. I have always loved the Rio Grande narrow gauge. So this layout will be my interpretation of the D&RGW and RGS. It will be a point to point layout with two turntables. A large yard on one end, and a smaller yard at the other. More pics to come. and thanks for all the support. I wanted to make special mention: A good friend and great model railroader passed away recently. George John. I hope George would have liked my new layout, and I would like to dedicate all my work on the site in George's memory. He will be missed.
For you motorcycle fans: My 2003 FXST Harley Davidson.

This web page will document my dual gauge layout.
New Text here...So please sit back, relax and enjoy my version of the Colorado narrow gauge!!!

The layout was designed by my father. He has designed a few in his day, and still continues to do so. If you interested in getting a layout design done, he would be more than willing to do so. He can be reached at his email address. Great Prices too!
