HOn3 Barlow Pass Layout | Work Begins!

Welcome to the first video in my new build series on the HOn3 Barlow Pass layout! I'm building a little slice of 1930's Colorado narrow gauge in a roughly 4x8' corner of the studio. In this episode, I share the updated track plan and give some insight into how these plans are drawn and created. Then it's time to get out the power tools and build a sturdy rolling stand for the layout using some common shop-shelves and dimensional lumber. This video series is brought to you in part by Empire Trackworks, who are graciously providing custom, hand-built HOn3 turnouts for the layout. Check them out at https://www.empire-trackworks.com/

Thanks for watching!
