I am continuing my recent investigation of the old Boulder, Colorado railroad grade cut with aspirations of reaching Lefthand Canyon, Jamestown and Middle Park in the western slope of the Rockies. Realistically, the small problem of the continental divide gets in the way of that goal... but when does honesty ever get in the way of advertising or stock and bond sales. I once saw a wonderful sheet of bonds issued by the Denver Western RR. None were clipped. I've never seen bonds for the B,LH&MP, chuckle. If there are any, I'm sure they are pristine.
Here is my six stage, three layer pano from the abandoned prestressed concrete parking lot north of Boulder, Colorado along Highway #36. I made a stop there a week before but came away with several problems, even exact view point. I returned and found a better vantage spot to set up the podzilla. I used the longer zoom in landscape mode to image the entire territory of visible grade this pano covers with its six steps across the foothills. I had to include the tops of the hills. Atmospherics are starting to show in the distance. I had to abandon further work on the file because I hit the 2gig file size in the Photoshop I am using. My previous postings were made up the North Foothills Trail. I discovered that there were no historic markers up there relating the railroad grade's history. Tim Ostwald of Boulder and I found a reference in the Robert Ormes Colorado Railroads book. It was named Boulder, LeftHand, JamesTown and Middle Park Rail Road and Telegraph company in that source... but I found another error elsewhere in it.
Ah dreams of vast wealth. Realistically, miners opted for mills as close as possible to the mines in order to minimize the costs of (rail) transportation. Processed ore is far less a load than raw ore. I am posting the best captures of the traces I found. It is reasonably visible here on the trail north. This footpath follows the grade, as if trekkers know what are actually following. The path seems to follow the grade all the way to the former Beech Aircraft plant on Google maps. There, they built the Apollo fuel tanks. The B,LH&MP (also seen as B,LH,JT&MP) grade dropped from the northern Boulder bluff behind me where it was slowly gaining altitude from the south. Here, I wandered the footpath north until I found another revealing view. The trail along the route cuts across the foot hills dropping from the hogback and north toward Lefthand Canyon. Early on, Boulder and Longmont graded routes up Lefthand and thence James Canyon to the booming camp of Jamestown. Traces show most of the way into the mouth of the canyon. Longmont was an agricultural community while Boulder had rail access to mountain mining communities and may have had ore mills and smelters. Boulder would have been the more reasonable narrow gauge route to the booming Jamestown mining camp.
The old grade of the Boulder, Left Hand, Jamestown & Middle Park Railroad and Telegraph Company (whew) can be seen much if the way from north Boulder, along #36 on the foothills to the west of the highway north from Boulder, Colorado to where it turns into Lefthand Canyon near the Greenbriar Restaurant. I spotted traces into the canyon for a short stretch. Obviously, they fell far short of their goal of Jamestown let alone Middle Park, Colorado which would have entailed an impossible crossing of the Continental Divide. Cutting tunnels always slows when granite is hit. And it fell short of its goal of Jamestown (and/or Ward), Colorado. The lower canyon pinches tightly below the confluence. It did achieve the Left Hand River Valley and through the very best of fortunes retained, rails were never laid on the grade. The canyons uphill from Jamestown are a choice of bad and a much worse grades. They lost just a fraction of the investment they easily could have.
The latest in my series of Star Wars vehicles redesigned as realistic aircraft is the Lambda Shuttle. The model features spinning rotors that spin together and opening doors.
I think the cabin should be a brick taller, but I didn't feel like rebuilding it.
Just installed this tonight, and wowzer am I impressed! Water behaves so much more naturally and all the little added touches like the animated boats really make a big difference in making Skyrim feel more alive. Fantastic mod.

Belonging to the Devils Creek waterstream and the Columbia River watershead, this seasonally massive tiered-plunged waterfall knows how to capture one's very own eye, heart, and soul while traversing through this historically and geologically special region of Eastern Washington. Maxing out at a height of a little over 400 feet, this majestic gem feeds Banks Lake with the mysterious beauty of Steamboat Rock nearby.

I always wanted to create a realistic castle, with all the details, interior, but because I don't really have pieces :P, I could only build a castle and the soil under it in a cross-section. Please check the album (there are many interesting photos!).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most likely this is my last build before Christmas or any other holidays, because I am going to a new (boarding) school, so I just won't have pieces near myself.
Anyway, I hope you will enjoy this creation!
