As we live very near to Brighton, on the south coast of England, my wife and I want to make three or four HO NMRA modules, so that we can intergrate with our local division of the NMRA. We therefore would like to model our namesake in Colorado. Can anybody tell us what the depot at Brighton looked like, if one ever existed and what the track layout was. Secondly can anybody please tell us what was the basic train service throught Brighton during the 1950s to 1970s. This includes both passenger and freight workings. Thanks in advance. ------------------ Ron Carlisle

Brighton isn't that far from Denver, but i can't really help you with what it was like 30 years ago... From what i recall the last time i was there, tracks go right thru the heart of the city but it's kind of boring. There is a huge steel mill/plant of some sort but i don't know how long it's been there.
