Final Track Plan

I have completed the final track plan for the Rio Grande Southern Railroad in HOn3!  Note that Ridgway has been moved into the adjacent room, and that the Enterprise Branch and Telluride Branch are now included for additional operating interest.

The Enterprise Branch is physically located above the town of Dolores, with a connection to the town of Rico.  This branch will be operated by a Shay locomotive, and has several mines, which have been relocated from my previous layout.  The Enterprise Branch is freelanced, although it is based upon the prototype Enterprise Branch.

Ridgway, Telluride, and Pandora follow the prototype track plans, although they are compressed, as always seems to be required!  We never have all the space we want for our railroads!

Trains are currently operating through Placerville, with the end-of-track at the far end of Placerville.  I anticipate beginning benchwork construction of the new portion of the layout within the next week.
