Colorado and Northwestern Railway
The Colorado and Northwestern Railway (C&N) was built to serve the mines, mills and people of western Boulder County. The C&N was nicknamed the “The Switzerland Trail of America” and had sharp curves, steep grades and lots of history which make it an ideal prototype to model. I’m attempting to recreate the C&N in its entirety as it existed in 1908 with the intention to model most every station, all major features, every locomotive, every piece of rolling stock and every passenger car. The Sn3 layout is located in two rooms encompasing roughly 1000 sq. ft with 75% of track and benchwork complete and 25% scenicked. Prototypical operation is planned.
