We enjoy visiting Ouray, Colorado and learning about its railroad history. Very little of that portion of its history remains and for some reason it is seldom modeled. Therefore it was with some surprise that I found a gentleman at the narrow gauge convention modeling Ouray. Here are pictures of his layout.
 |
| He captured the engine house and tracks leading into town quite accurately |
 |
| He photographed the actual canyon walls in Ouray and used large prints of same for his backdrop |
 |
| He scaled historical photographs of the ice house and used them to create plans for his scale model |
 |
| The Ouray Depot had distinctive angles on the roof peaks |

| Loading at the station |

| Stock pens at the end of the layout |
 |
| Coaling provisions are underway |

| Other well done models were on display in other rooms |
