A friend of mine introduced me to this blog and encouraged me to share the HO scale layout I started building in 2016 in Lakeville, MN. The Red Rock Northern is described as a freelanced short line in rural America. It was designed by Jerry Boudreaux and featured in the June 2007 issue of Model Railroader magazine as an 11x9 which I've stretched slightly into an 11x10 spare bedroom. It operates as a twice around the room point to point but also allows continuous running. Minimum radius is 24" and maximum grade is about 2.5-3%. Main road is Burlington Northern.
