Building the Union Pacific Cheyenne Division Layout
John GrayDescription
An example of this is the color of the rock in Cheyenne. John took tons of photographs, but the decomposed granite on Sherman Hill would have been hard to describe without also bringing the actual rock to the layout. This means that the actual ground cover is the real rock found in the area. The advantage of having someone to work on your layout, a luxury not many modelers have, is that John has less and less time to work on his layout, but he does have a little more money. Instead of feeling sad that no work is done while he is otherwise engaged, it is like a gift to come home and see progress on the railroad. This way he is able to enjoy his trips and be a true railfanner. For more videos on layout planning visit the Model Railroad Academy video archives.
