Operations will be on Doug Tagsold’s Colorado & Southern RR Clear Creek Division. Doug’s layout has been featured in multiple publications. Doug models the Colorado and Southern narrow gauge mainline from Denver west to the mountain mining towns of Idaho Springs, Silver Plume, Black Hawk and Central City. The scenes are set as the line appeared in the 1920’s. Doug models the line in 1:72 scale (between HO and S scale), using small HO standard gauge locos and rolling stock as narrow gauge in 1:72 scale. The layout fills a 1300+ square foot basement with double deck benchwork, and a 650 ft. mainline. The Rocky Mountain scenery includes the city of Denver, Clear Creek Canyon and higher elevations with snow. Doug uses Easy DCC wireless throttles, and operates the layout with Time Tables and Train Orders.

A basic knowledge of TT/TO operation is required. If you are new to TT/TO, let Doug know and he will assist you on what to look for and pointers.
