A westbound Rio Grande freight led by Tunnel Motor No. 5353 exits Tunnel 8 west of Plainview Colorado, on… well, just for fun, I thought some viewers might enjoy seeing a photo or two once in a while from my N scale Moffat Road. I have built a model railroad in my basement (19 feet by 25 feet) that approximately represents Rio Grande’s climb from Denver to the Moffat Tunnel. For those not familiar with the scales in model railroading, N scale is 1/160 in size. So the trains stand about an inch tall and a forty-foot boxcar is 3 inches long. I hope you enjoy the occasional foray into photographs of the Moffat Road—160th size.
