Colorado Western and Aspen Junction Railroads

The CWAJRR is a HO/HOn3 layout set in Colorado. The standard gauge Colorado Western interchanges with the narrow gauge Aspen Junction in a dual gauge yard. The narrow gauge mining line climbs from 48" to 74" through a series of switchbacks as it serves the mining district around Basalt and Aspen. The layout occupies a 20'x40' room with bridges, trestles, lots of rockwork, and scenery to the ceiling. Night operation is simulated with black light which displays the fully lit town to its best. The standard gauge portion runs between Leadville and Basalt and serves a logging operation via another switchback at Thomasville.
