Late in the day, down at Fowler's Landing, the Canyon Queen waits for passengers and cargo to load before heading back down river. Thunder Mesa is as far north as the steamers can navigate on the Rio Frontera. The river gets too shallow, fast and rocky up in the canyons. Fortunately, the river is is just wide enough here to turn the boats around. The Canyon Queen was built from a Kitwood Hill Models kit. #frontendfriday

Let's build a Christmas layout in HO scale! Introducing the Santa Fe & Saint Nick, a holiday layout with a Southwestern theme in just 40x60 inches. This short series is aimed at folks just getting started in the hobby, with ready to run equipment, off the shelf materials, and step by step instructions. In episode 1, I build some basic benchwork with a wooden frame and an extruded foam deck that will form a base for the scenery to come.
