Description<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Durlin Branch models a branch of the narrow gauge Denver and Rio Grande Western. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This railroad is a freelanced two headed fictional branch line out of Chama NM on the D&RGW’s fourth division narrow gauge line. Durlin is one of the branch terminals with industries representative of those in Silverton CO and Flint is the other branch terminal serving a coal mine based on the big CF&I breaker at Floresta CO. Durango and other points west of Chama are represented by staging, as is Alamosa and other points east of Chama. Prototype scenes include Chama, Cresco, Toltec Tunnel and Navajo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An 18×27 room houses the layout which is a partial double deck design. 97% of the rolling stock is kit or scratch built, steam locomotives are primarily brass which have all been remotored\/regeared\/detailed\/painted with primarily Soundtraxx decoders installed. Locomotive control is a CVP Easy DCC system with CVP wireless Ops throttles. This is an attempt to replicate to some extent the experience of small steam engine mountain railroading hauling general freight, coal, ore concentrates, and passengers along with the fall stock rush. The operating style is casual as befits a narrow gauge branch line faced with the fall increase in traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
