Colorado Springs Train Station
« on: October 31, 2010, 11:24:40 »
Hello :wave:

Today I set up Colorado Springs Train Yard. It is not strictly all Western, but what I had out at the time.

Once again I apologise for the darkness of the pics. Even with the brightnes etc turned up on the camera it is still too dark.


Colorado Springs Train Station

From left to right: Pasenger terminus, train yard, freight depot




Passengers await the next train to Deadwood:




In the train yard, an old train is being worked on:




At the freight depot, all manner of parcels and large items arrive and depart from Colorado Springs:




Entrance to the Colorado Springs Freight Depot office:




A train waits to be given the all clear, so he can head off on another journey:




I do apologise for the shoddyness of the photographs. I did take lots more, but hopefully you can get the idea (they were too badder quality to bother showing)

Damo :)

Great set up, Damo!

But, I'm curious about the two guys in the canoe?

Did you have a flood? (Did the Colorado River rise up quickly and drop them there?)

Or, did someone just ship them like that on the train? ...  ;D

Great setup Damo, playing with trains is so much fun. And having a nice setup around it just adds to it :-)
