Stepping into Colorado on the RGS Second District in Sn3
Come tour an amazing Rio Grande Southern layout that you don’t want to miss! Dale Kreutzer models the RGS Second District from Durango to Rico in Sn3. The layout is based in the 1920s. You’ll learn about the layout’s construction and about Dale’s scenery methods. The feature includes an interview with him at the layout. This is the first part of a two-part feature; next month, we’ll focus on the layout’s operations.
