Colorado - Rio Golden Railroad at Heritage Square
Golden, CO - The goal of the builders was to create a five inch scale replica of a Colorado narrow gauge railroad. It was built to be authentic, not a ‘toy railroad’ or even an amusement park railroad. For instance, the water tank and the ticket booth were built to resemble typical structures on Colorado railroads, and were painted “Marshall Yellow,” a color chosen from paint samples found in the archives of the Colorado Railroad Museum. Marshall Yellow was taken from the color of a water tank located at Pando near Tennessee Pass.

Colorado - Tiny Town Railroad and Village
Tiny Town, CO - Live Steam Railway & Village. Tiny town was created at the site of the Denver-Leadville stagecoach stop in a scenic mountain canyon southwest of Denver in
1915. That's when moving-company owner George Turner began constructing one-sixth-sized buildings with a turn-
of-the-century flavor to delight his young daughter. In 1920 the town was opened to the public. In just five years, it became one
of Colorado's top attractions.

Goose Creek Railroad
The Goose Creek Railroad is a private two-foot gage railroad located in Bristol, Virginia. It is owned and operated by Wiley, Matt, and Mary Alice Helton. At this time there are approximately 2000 feet of track including one passing siding, two storage sidings, and a wye. The railroad rolling stock includes an electric trolley car, gasoline-hydraulic locomotive, excursion car, caboose, and a motorcar. In the summer of 2001, a 14'x24' depot was completed and a small museum is currently being installed. I hope you enjoy your visit to this website. There are many photos to view, as well as a complete map and description of the railroad. In the near future I hope to include a detailed history of the railroad since its inception in 1989.

Arbroath, Scotland - Scotland's oldest miniature railway ran it's first train at Arbroath in 1935. Since then, nearly two million people have enjoyed a ride along 10.25" gauge, quarter mile long track on the seafront.
