Black Hawk does work itself into a good candidate for a shelf layout. My version is in HOn3 and is a foot wide. I wish it had been a bit wider but it was found space. The narrow width flattened things out a bit and I had to eliminate the hay/ grain building. I did add a freelanced mining area on the end. (I did cover it's construction and the buildings pretty thoroughly over in the C&S narrow gauge facebook group.)
One note in your planning when you build structures- there was an error in the Colorado Rail Annual that showed the station at 38 foot wide when it was actually 28' wide. This was the source that Harry Brunk used for dimensions on his plans so they are too wide by no fault of his own. (Only error I think in any of his plans- remarkable record)
I am still working on the Bobtail mill-
