    So its been a little while since I have been on to post. Much due to moving, change in job and going back to school. So I don't have the original amount of space to build the layout I was originally planning, but that just means I have more time to plan what I really want to do. So what I am looking/asking the trainboard community for is some ideas/information to plan out my future layout. I will be modeling in N scale. I do have my heart set of modeling D&RGW with Denver in mind. Time frame I am looking at is right around 1955ish, maybe a little earlier. I like early diesel and who doesn't love steam?

    So with that said, I also have a place in my heart for the Santa Fe. So my logical options to from Denver to Pueblo region inwhich I can also have some Mopac and others. However I am not totally must have ATSF. After doing more reading and searching I feel that I could build better operations from Denver to Chicago range and get some CB&Q action along with run my Zephyr.

    So what I am looking for is some possible ideas of possible start/end points. I myself love switching, but I want to also have a fully operational layout for more than just myself. I will be making it a double deck, possible 3 decks (Staging). And if anyone has an idea to make a connection to Pueblo... it would be great. Kind of looking for resources of planning information if anyone has some I would greatly appreciate it.

    Looking forward to the help
    Justin
