UP Rocky Mt. Sub

In early 2004 I started working on my 2nd model railroad which would become the "Rocky Mountain Subdivision", based on the general area of the Colorado Rockies.  I completed the layout about a year later, displayed it at a couple trainshows and then sold it to work on yet another project.  Fortunately a good friend of mine and also an N scale addict bought the layout, so it didn't go far from home.  This layout was featured in the May/Jun 2005 N Scale Railroading.
