We are traveling in Wyoming with our first stop at the Cheyenne Depot Museum. In addition to the story of the train infrastructure in Cheyenne, it houses a huge model railroad layout in HOn3 scale.. HOn3 is HO scale narrow gauge railroad. The huge layout took 30 years to build. I wish my father was alive to see this one; he was a huge model railroad fan.
In addition to the gallery of still photos (click to enlarge and start slideshow).
The old depot has beautiful architecture.
Because I’m an engineer who used devices like this early in his career, here is a pyrometer. A thermocouple generates a millivotage in proportion to the temperature.
These boots are made for… art exhibits throughout the city. Here (from left to right) famous travelblogger, his spouse Kay, and Bill’s spouse Diana. Bill was the photographer.
Architecture.
Ten blocks from the depot is the Big Boy.
The world’s largest steam engine. This one made its lasst run in 1958.
The major repair facility in Cheyenne featured a huge turntable and roundhouse.
