Hello everyone. I've decided that I probably will want to make a diorama of Forks Creek on the Colorado Central in HOn3, in the near future. And I've been told that here would be a good place to ask for help on doing so.
I'm still quite new to model railroading, especially since I'm still quite young. Pardon me if it sounds unusual coming from someone like myself! And pardon any naivety I may also seem to have!
Anyways, I'm still unsure about certain parts of what to model for this diorama. The era I'm shooting for lies between 1872 and 1880/1881.
I have some files for making HO-scaled 3D-prints of the Station, Eatery, and Section House. Though I don't know about what to use for the bridges, the water tank and the shack beside it.
I also ordered a Powder car kit from Bitter Creek Models, but I'm not sure which trucks to use that would be close enough to the original configuration, mainly the 3'4 trucks, as per Version 5.1 of Ron Rudnick's Colorado Central modelling guide.
What do you all recommend I do for this project?
