A great looking car from Lionel during the 70's but is one of my worst cars for derailments. Plus, it's lousy beer, certainly a waste of good mountain water. Now, Fat Tire is something Colorado can be very proud of!

So many roads, so little time.

Christmas 2004. I'm catching up!
An overall shot first


'Rapp Village' - scratchbuilt models of family member's houses:


And I'll continue my practice of including a sketch:
This was a fun layout to run with visitors watching. All of those crossovers, the green lines, are under the plateau so the viewer has no idea where the train is coming out respective to where it entered. it might enter from the top-left and exit on the bottom right whereas the viewer might be expecting a straight pass-thru since there are tracks directly across from the various entry points. Had fun running it with kids: we would pretend to do magic and make the train disappear!
