The Tennessee Pass line includes the spectacular Royal Gorge
and this layout makes the most of the scenic opportunities
available. In addition to the Gorgeous scenery (pun intended)
Rob's layout is fully signaled and designed from the ground up
for realistic operations.
MRH:
Rob, what was it that caused you to get interested in the
D&RGW?
Rob:
Well, I went on a road trip when I was about 18 years old,
with a friend of mine. We went to Colorado. Of course we went
through Durango and they had the steam engines running. I
fell in love with the Rio Grande when I saw my very first oper-
ating steam engine. So I decided to model the Denver and Rio
Grande and I still do.
MRH:
How did you pick the D&RGW's Tennessee Pass route?
