24: The New Jersey Zinc mine is off the downhill end of
the Belden siding. Monday work group buddy Rick Ernest
built this complex for Rob.
I didn't model the bridge, but the Belden scenery is modeled
very faithfully. Anyone who is familiar with the Rio Grande
should be recognize it on the layout.
MRH:
What are your plans for the future?
Rob:
There are a couple of things. A little while back I started
expanding into the next room. This new layout area models the
D&RGW Monarch branch. The grades are steep, up to 4%, the
curves are tight and two switch backs are needed to reach the
site of the limestone quarry at the top (28).
