Overview of the Denver, Front Range & Western
Doug TagsoldDescription
Even though this layout was carefully planned and built, Doug has rebuilt or redone most of the layout. New ideas and techniques only add to his enjoyment of the hobby. Allen Keller alongside Doug claims this is one of the more dramatic models they have ever made a video about. To Doug, the drama of mountain modeling is the most important thing. His goal with this layout was to try to recapture the drama he witnessed when he saw Rio Grande trains running through the front range of the Rocky Mountains. The layout sits in his basement where its double deck footprint takes up only 25 by 40 feet. The back of the lower level is 12 inches away from the wall to allow plenty of room for wiring and hidden staging tracks. The tour begins on the lower level of the layout at Pueblo.
