Those Colorado skies...
Colorado is known for its crystal clear, azure blue skies, and so with a little magic from Adobe® Photoshop®, most of the
photos here have received a digitally enhanced sky. We hope you don't mind the illusion, but after all, isn't model
railroading about trying to create the illusion of a real world in miniature?
So now that you know our little secret, please enjoy your visit to our part of Colorado in miniature...hope you brought some sunscreen!

by direct sunlight shining in through the basement window. August 2007.

These five photos were taken by Lew Allen in September 2006 while he was visiting from Arizona. All show scenes
along the back wall as viewed from the center aisle inside the club. They are arranged as would be seen from left
to right. The first photo shows Fort Arnold in the Cripple Creek area. It is named after the late Carrie Arnold, who
painted the backdrop and contributed greatly to all of the scenic aspects of the club. Next is Klinker Coal Company,
followed by the small mining town of Progress. Finally, we have two mine structures that were build by George Sevier.
