Gateway NMRA Rail Op 2011 Layout
Randy Meyer
Canyon & Rocky Mountain Railroad
|
A 54’x26’ Sn3 John Armstrong custom designed layout
using coved background corners and ceiling set in the
high mountains of Colorado. The scenery extends from
near the floor to the ceiling, with extensive scenic
backdrop paintings by Greg Gray. The backdrop and
scenery are designed to highlight the extensive
collection of highly detailed PBL narrow gauge (Soundtraxx
equipped) engines. The line climbs from a 52" dual gauge
yard at Salida to a 67" switchback mining area in the
Red Mountains. Two branchlines provide additional lumber
and mining traffic for the mainline narrow gauge D&RGW.
Control is with Digitrax DCC. The scenery is about 30%
complete.
