HOn3 RGS First District Layout Tour - May 2024
Take a tour of my HOn3 Rio Grande Southern First District model railroad! I've tried to faithfully model selected scenes from the first 66 miles (First District) of the real Rio Grande Southern as it looked between the years 1938 to 1947. I did take a few liberties because of the limited space, including leaving out some great locations on the real RGS and a lot of selective compression. As noted, I did move some of the businesses from Glasgow Ave in Rico from the hill behind the depot to the front of the layout for viewers to be able to see them. But otherwise I really tried to be as accurate as I could in just 12 by 14 feet.
Please excuse my hand-drawn trackplan. I'm still a bit of a Lud...

We follow Extra 454 West (south) on the HOn3 Rio Grande Southern First District. We first catch it near Placerville, then at Windy Point. Then we cross Bridge 45-A at Ophir and round the Ophir Loop. We leave the snowshed at Lizard Head Pass and then say goodbye to the train at Gallagher as Extra 454 heads to Rico. The first song is an AI song by "There I Ruined It," featuring Hank Williams sing...

HOn3 Toma Porter

This is the HOn3 Porter 0-4-0 from Toma Model Works in Japan. I added an ESU LokPilot5 Micro DCC decoder (it's hidden in the cab ceiling) and lettered/detailed it as San Juan Central #2, the "Tuco Ramirez" (from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly). The elk antlers on the headlight are a 3-D print from MiniPrints.

HOn3 MDC/Roundhouse 2-8-0 with Soundtraxx Tsunami2 Sound
Просмотров 4,3 тыс.2 года назад
This is a first-edition 1970s/80s era plastic, zamak, and brass HOn3 Model Die Casting/Roundhouse outside-framed 2-8-0 kit. Most of us HOn3 modelers have built one of these at some point, but I was curious as to whether I could bring one up to date such that it'd be at home around my Blackstone and brass engines with DCC and sound. I'm pretty happy with how this came out. It's not the smoothest...

Very, very impressive.
Super. 💙 T.E.N.
The ultimate HOn3 layout! Perfect scenery, no hassle with grades or tunnels. Railroading "in between" the mountains, and everything within reach !
Thanks! It's not all that, LOL... The lack of tunnels__BTW--is purely prototypical; somehow the real RGS did what it did for 162 miles with zero tunnels!
Nice
I was Thumbs Up 325. Impressive.
Really fabulous scenery and backdrops. Wow
Great video Dave -- it really showcases your work .. JB
New to your channel! Absolutely stunning layout...and when the scene opened and music started up I died laughing at how well the song and run bys went together! 😂
Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
Great video and great layout mate👌
I LOVE THIS LAYOUT!! Dave this is just a gorgeous well thought out beautiful layout...congrats sir on a truly remarkable depiction of the late great RGS....
Just superb model work!
Incredible work
5 years ago. This is the first video I found for this layout. Very nice. I’ll be watching, liking, and commenting on your videos and hopefully it will get them in front of more people like me that think you have a great layout and subscribed.
I just uploaded the most recent video on Saturday.
You have built a fascinating layout. The track work, rock work and buildings are incredible and the way you tied the layout into the backdrops is amazing. Did you photograph the backdrops or are they available commercially and if so, from where? I can’t wait to watch these videos. I have subscribed and look forward to catching up on your beautiful layout.
Narrow gauge is fascinating… that mill is spectacular!
Everything about this layout is amazing!Great work!
Oh wow. This is amazing layout and you’ve really made the scenes look interesting.
A great production for a fantastic layout Dave! I personally love the hand drawn track plan, I would prefer to do that my self if I had any skill with a pencil or pen! just out of curiosity how wide is Ridgway at it's widest point?
Excellent track plan and beautifully done RGS.
I really like the format of this layout tour video. I'm not a model railroader but appreciate the craftsmanship, creativity and artistry of a well built layout. Beautiful model railroad, nicely done.
Fantastic modelling !
Very well done.
Very Nice!! I always enjoy your creations!!
You have created a very beautiful model RR of the area. I am a front range guy too who is looking at finally building his layout. Your HOn3 engines and cars run very nicely. I was going to do HOn3 before my eyes went bad and bought both Sn3 and Fn3. Now that my eyesight has been restored with contracts and now trying to decide which gauge to go with. It likely will be HOn3 or Sn3. I had a friend that has a operating layout that has HOn3 and I never seen it operate because he says it is too hard to maintain compared to his HO layout. There is a lot more stuff for HOn3 than Sn3. If you had the room to build this layout again in Sn3 would you do it?
What a cool layout!
Magnificent
Beautiful!
Love it, Dave!!
A beautiful representation of the RGS. Beautiful scenes. I visited all these places last July (from the UK!) so it was nice for me to relate your scenes to what I saw in person. Excellent work! Simon
Better than I've done. I live on the Colorado Front Range and haven't visited RGS country since 2018!
@@vollmerdp It's such a beautiful area. I love it.
Looks great Dave, my layout is slowly coming together the Caribou Northern and Pacific on the logging branch. Thanks for the great videos and inspiration
Very well done !!
Perfect! The best looking HOn3 layout out there. Your colours and textures are spot on 👌
Thanks! Although I cheated on the colors...that's dirt from the real locations modeled,.
WOW, Dave!! Your RGS layout, viewed detailed scene by detailed scene, measures 20'x30'....not the actual 12'x14'. Kudos to your excellent modeling and execution! 👏
Nice work Dave !!!
Looks amazing Dave!
Inspiration and a great feeling is what I get from your videos! Keep then coming >
Beautiful layout! Are those Owl Mountain lumber stacks on the flatcar? 👍
Yes they are!
Love this video, Dave!
Gangsta. Straight gangsta.
Awesome!
Nice job Dave As usual Good to see you again
Very nice work Dave. I looking into building my model railroad finally. I was going to do HON3 and have a lot of stuff, but because for a while my eyes were bad, I started collecting Sn3 because I was told HON3 was hard to keep running the small engines. I see your engines run great. If you had to do it again, would you stay with HOn3 or go to a larger scale? There sure is a lot more HOn3 structures.
NWA sounds so much better accompanied by a steel guitar... Great job, Dave!
So inspirational.....
Absolutely beautiful footage as always! Your layout is honestly one of my favorites to see 🥺
I was not expecting my favorite Hank Williams parody 😂
Utterly mentally flashbanged me when I clicked on the video. My diaphragm hurts from laughing
Question your San Juan Cental rolling stock where did you get the decals. I re found my MR mags on Malcolm Furlow building the layout. Is your SJC 354 a Model DIe Cast kit or a brass engine? Good work and Great videos.
I lettered a Blackstone D&RGW C-19 as San Juan Central 347. I don't have a 354. But the decals were custom made. A bunch of us got together and did a group order, and I don't recall what company did the work. I was not the lead on that project.
Lovely little layout with a lot of playing possibilities 👏
Lovely layout with a lot of details 🤩 the backdrop on the walls brings a good depth 👍 congratulations 👏
