Title:
Building the Denver & Rio Grande Narrow Gauge vol-4

Description:
Purchase at -- www.greenfrog.com VOLUME-4 Chama to Cumbres In Volume 4 of this series, we'll finally complete the Rio Grande Narrow Gauge taking you up to and completing the line to Cumbres. We'll lay out the woodwork from Chama to Cumbres, and construct all the benchwork necessary. Then we'll build some bridges to take us over the Chama River. Next, we'll lay track up to Cumbres, which will include a passing siding and a tunnel. The large snowshed that appeared at Cumbres in the working days of the Grande will be scratched in place. Our artist, Pat Lemmerman, will paint some backdrops for our new scene out of Chama. There is a small lake at Cumbres, and we'll build that next. Finally, the rugged scenery will be constructed up to Cumbres, to create the high elevations and the mountains surrounding the area. We'll complete our program by running some trains for a live meet at Cumbres. Approx. 62 Minutes Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo

Scaling the 7-1/2" track to 3' gauge means the engine is 2-1/2" to the foot scale, rather than the typical[-for std. gauge] 1-1/2" .
