More model rail action from the Rio Grande RR's Platte Canyon Subdivision
Switch crew takes a breather and discusses the recent string of vandalism in the area with local cops. Note the doughnuts and coffee, the cops apparently aren't to worried.   GP30 rumbles by leading a train of empties from the CF&I mill in Pueblo.  FT's, in their final days before being traded back to EMD, make a run west on the Platte Canyon Spur.  CB&Q GP20 with a cut of empties.  D&RGW #137 switches Inland Cement.

I'll take being compared to Mr Rogers as a compliment. If everyone spread as much light in the world as he did, it'd be a better place. |

The bullet holes in the sign is great. I love attention to little details like that. Are your cars that detailed? (Train cars)

Thanks. Most of the railcars are weathered. Actual detail level depends on the kit make.

I wish I had the money, patience, time, and space to have a train layout.
Keep the pictures coming. |

Is this your layout? If so you have done a wonderful job with it. Ar you used DDC?

It's ours (my son and I) and, yes, we do use DCC. Thanks for the positive comment. Digitrax "Super Chief". We've got two throttles, a DT400 and a DT300.  |

Nice pike! Thanks for the pic's
 About a month ago a 4-6-6-4 "Challenger" was heading-up to Portland for a week or so on display and it ran through the crossing two blocks from my house......AWESOME. About every steam freak in the little town I live in was there with camera's and the crew on the engine gave us plenty of horn. It was great. |

Wow, gorgeous stuff. I had a layout years ago, so I've always admired quality models. Every so often I pick up a Model Railroader magazine and leaf through it.

Awesome! With all the negative press UP gets amoung the model railroad crowd, I still love em. They do alot to promote rail history (and their image) by the steam program. Now, they're doing fallen flag paint schemes on their "heritage series" locos to honor historic RR's that are now part of the UP system. |
