Cripple Creek!

Parts 1 and 2 of my exploration of the Cripple Creek Mining District have thoroughly covered the practices miners used ot extract and transport the gold.  However, part three is yet to come.  To prelude to the Cripple Creek part 3, I have created a Youtube video which you can see below. Please enjoy!

Yet Another Blog

As some readers have seen, I have experimented with a few different blogs over the last three years.  JJWTRAINS continues to be the most successful, however I do have other blogs.

In order to preserve the posts from the past, I have made copies of nearly all my photographs that have been put on this blog and I have stored them in a separate blog: www.jjwtrainphoto.blogspot.com

I also have a blog that has been renovated and is completely devoted to my ever increasing track plans that I make in my spare time.  I am continuing to grow my hard copy (physical paper) track plans and one day in the future I plan to take my best plans and publish them on this blog:
www.jjwtraintrackplan.blogspot.com

However I just got my newest blog online, andthis blog is specialized to one scale and one large project.  My latest idea is to design and build a G scale (Technically 1:20.3 or Fn3) train layout that tells the story of mining in central Colorado.  When the name hit me, I immediately put a blog on the Internet.  The address is www.bardcreekrr.blogspot.com.

I of course will continue on this blog and will give regular updates regarding both my projects and the latest information that I find valuable.  So like I always say, stay tuned because more is coming down the track!
