HO Scale Rio Grande in the San Luis Valley

About HO Scale Rio Grande in the San Luis Valley

"Model Railroading is not an outcome - it is a journey."

In early 2021, I discovered a video on YouTube which helped me achieve a great look for the shingled roof on the station at the town of Del Norte, Colorado on my layout. That video was by Jason Jensen (search for him!) Since then, I have benefited from hundreds of videos by dozens of YouTube contributors. So I decided to begin sharing some of my work, some of my methods, and some of my experience. I hope these videos will inspire other modelers.

My philosophy is easily expressed:
(1) Model railroading should be fun. If it isn't fun, it's not a hobby - it's a job.
(2) Model railroading need not cost an arm and a leg. Use the least expensive materials and tools to achieve the results you want.
(3) Models do not need to be faithful to a prototype, but they should look as though they could be.
