My Wife and I were not able to make the 2015 NGRC in July as we all ready had our Vacation time planed for the fall. We will be traveling from Springfield Mo. to Denver / Durango on Sep.27 - Oct.9 2015 and were wondering if any one would be willing to show us there RR?
​Our plan is to start with Caboose Hobbies then Co. RR Museum then start riding RR's. We are going to try and ride most of the Scenic Rail Roads in the area and if time allows we will go to the Durango area again. We road the Durango, Silverton 2 years ago on July 4th 2013.
We are wanting Ideas for our B & O RR ( BEES & OWL RR) Any ideas or things to see would be a great help.
As you can see in my last post we have track on the ground and air.
Now we need to start giving building's some real thought, that is what this trip will be about.
Ps. We have one invite to the TRR in Denver.
Thank You Jim & Julie Hoot Owl Lane Bees LLC & B & O RR
That is Bee & Owl RR. We started back in March building a stone wall so we could start with a level area. Then we back filled and graded in April. Started laying track in June. We had trains running in July. Installing bents for the trestle work now. August
We leveled the raised area of our track today. I will have over 40' of trestle to build. I have most of it designed already but was wondering about fire barrels? How far apart would / do you place fire barrels when building your trestle?
I am giving our spring Garden Train some thought and was wondering what would be the maximum grade I should have?
This will be our first build and all ready my wife wants to know if I can set it up to run along the ceiling in our house and then out to the track in the yard.
There is about a 10' difference between the lowest point out side to the level needed inside.
Any one in Co. want to showoff your RR?
