The layout is a loose approximation of the line from Leadville to Basalt, with the town of Thomasville in the middle. Mining and logging are featured industries, with facilities for servicing locos, miners and loggers, as well.

Engines are a mix of Hallmark and MEW Brass plus an assortment of Bachman ten wheelers and consolidations. You gotta have Shays, Heislers and Climax's for logging and mining.

All will be on DCC, and as many as possible will have sound. There is also a passenger train that will surprise many folks.

Operation is designed to be fun, rather than strict adherence to a clock or time table.
