I'm *trying* to model the whole thing! OK, not the entire line, but what I consider the "highlights". Thanks for the pix! Are you from around there?
I do the annual VC Hillclimb (affectionately known as "the Ferrari races" by the locals) every year and started out with an HO slot car track that would be scenicked appropriately. Then I thought it would be cool to add "a little loop of RR" and the grade crossing at Goldhill. Then the wheels fell off and I decided to spray some paint instead......
The whole (somewhat sorry!) tale is in my "8x4 to 10x7" thread in the layout design forum; http://www.modelrailroadforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20027
It seems to have "disintegrated" into something of a pissing contest, but I guess that's better than being ignored
Thanks again for the pix,
Cheers,
Ian
I live in Winnemucca,I took those pictures in Oct. of 2009,we (wife and I)went to Virginia City, to ride the train and tour the town. We took the first train of the day, and were the only ones on it. On the way back, we were offered a cab ride (to stay warm).I took pictures from the cab of the area.
