Modeling
in
1/48
scale,
Craig
is
building
a
new
model
railroad
in
O
scale,
based
on
the
Denver
&
Rio
Grande
Western
Railroad
in
Colorado.
The
layout
will
feature
both
standard
gauge
and
3
foot
narrow
gauge.
Track
planning
includes
a
dual
gauge
main
line
and
both
standard
tracks
and
a
narrow
gauge
branch
line.
The
railroad
will
be
designed
for
operations
(switching)
and
will
use
DCC
with
sound
equipped
locomotives.
In
2024,
Craig
moved
outside
Houston.
A
new
home
and
separate
train
building
were
built.
During
the
Summer
of
2025,
the
train
room
is
being
finished
out.
This
new
layout
is
coming
soon
and
early
track
plans
are
out
for
review.
The
previous
O/On3
layout
was
dismantled
in
the
Spring
of
2025.
Pictures
and
videos
of
that
layout
(more
still
coming)
on
the
‘Old Layout’ site.
