Just 10 turnouts left to install in module 1 and then its onto module 1a and the bridges in module 2. The track in the center of the photo is for the D&RGW Burnham Rail Yard & Shops. The track on the left leads to the Denver Market and the track on the right leads to various C&S industries and the branch line to the D&RGW Crested Butte Mine at\u00a0Gunnison County.<\/p>\n

The holes have already been cut but it takes awhile to install the turnouts because I am re-cycling them, using the turnouts that were installed in modules 5 & 6. I am also using re-cycled track for the sidings, but not the main lines were I am installing brand new Peco code 80 track.<\/p>\n

Ignoring all my tools covering module 1a the following photo shows modules 2 to 5 on the right and the Rio Grande Rocky Mountain area on the left. Initially only a temporary return loop will be installed between them. In time the loop will be converted to the Wye used to turn passenger trains so that they could back into Denver Union Terminal and\u00a0a new D&RGW North Yard will be built.<\/p>\n
