I should clarify. I won't be tearing apart my existing layout...I would be forced to model portions of the OR&L which fit my existing track work. The scenery for my current layout hasn't been started...and so I have the option of covering it with sand, palm trees, and coral gravel versus red talus, pine trees, and cinder ballast.
I am not allow to start another stock car until my current one is complete...nor any passenger cars until the current is complete...etc. I still plan on building the same trains: the DSP&P passenger train, the DSP&P coal train, the DSP&P freight train, the C&S freight train, and the misc train (EBT hopper, 1902 C&S boxcar, C&C tin car, etc). I'll just probably start an OR&L boxcar next instead of another DSP&P car. The next passenger car will be the Silverton RR's combine Red Mountain...followed by either DSP&P's BD&Co coaches or a Pullman...so OR&L passenger stock is at least three builds down the line (next year).
I don't need to eventually have 2 Colorado layouts...one specific to the DSP&P and the other being generic. So perhaps I'll find the OR&L to be better in the long run than the generic Colorado line. It's a shame that On3 modular clubs aren't as common as N-trak
My wife thinks that an HOn3 or Nn3 OR&L layout would be a good idea...but I don't want to get serious about anything other than On3 for now.

My primary goal is a large Oahu Railway layout in On3
My secondary interests are modeling the Denver, South Park, & Pacific in On3 and NKP in HO
