Trying to create parts of Colorado's rail network...
Routes trying to do is Moffat Line from Denver to Fraser, CO. The Front Range Sub from Denver to Longmont, CO. The Joint Line from Denver to Colorado Springs, CO.
At the end of each areas from Denver would have portals to create trains and to send them to further locations.
So far it's coming together... VERY SLOWLY lol as my time available is limited during the week due to being a truck driver. But it's going ok. I was originally going to start in Denver and work my way out, but I started on the Moffat Line at Rocky Flats by the Big 10 curves (If anyone on here railfans Colorado). I have been using Google Earth to get the measurements of the line as well.
Just didn't know if anyone is more familiar in the route as I'm trying to find the grades needed for the line, as well as just in general landscaping it. I'm in a cross though between of doing it a full baseboard scenery to get the distance or to set it up like a Layout type style. I'm using Trainz Model Railroad 2017 for it.
Thanks!! Hopefully once i get some sections completed will post pictures of it as well.
