Rio Grande Southern RR - Layouts & Eras

I thought it might be interesting to attempt a listing of RGS and related layouts. A recent discussion on the RGS list centered on what era of the RGS is being modeled by each of us, which is also interesting to me. SO - below is the beginning of a listing of various layouts. If you have a layout of the RGS, or nearby D&RG, or freelanced combination of the two, email me at with some details and I'll add it here.
