HOn3 Barlow Pass Layout | Narrow Gauge Water Tank

While I await needed supplies to begin track-laying, we can get a head-start on structures for the HOn3 Barlow Pass project. In this installment, I build a Durango Press D&RGW water tank kit, depicting a Colorado prototype from 1900. It's a step by step build with lots of tips, tricks and finishing techniques you won't find in the instructions for this popular kit!
Barlow Pass is my little slice of 1930's Colorado narrow gauge in a roughly 4x8' corner of the studio. Empire Trackworks graciously provided the custom, hand-built HOn3 turnouts for the layout. Check them out at https://www.empire-trackworks.com/

Thanks for watching!
