There has been some discussion "over there" about my Rock Ridge and Train City / Rocklin and Colfax. What some are
saying is that it doesn't make sense to have my small alyout on the busiest part of the busiest route the SP had at the
turn of 1900. So they suggested I find a branch line to model. The best suggestion anyone had was the NCNG--only run
the layout as if it were standard gauge.
That towns of Grass Valley and Nevada City actually fit and in their proper orientation.
I have duplicated all tracks save one. All the buildings on the maps I have are on the layout with the exception of the
Kidder Mansion. The engine house in Grass Valley is a single on my plan and a double on the map in the book I have.
I am completely baffled as to the use of the sidings. Obviously industries are missing or the tracks are used to sort freight
for towns and industries not show.
That's a roundabout way of saying I don't have an operation plan. If I go this route, I'm going to need more research to
find out exactly what moved and how.
