"Ravenwood, CO"

An old west Colorado town collaboration with Matt Hudson and @Donnie Bricko . Made for the CoWLUG display at the Spring 2023 Rocky Mountain Train Show

Ooooh! Stunning diorama. It has nearly everything a Western town needs. Guns, booze, and an undertaker. The only thing missing is "boot hill" and a gold mine. Not sure where you'd fit them though. I like the brick work on the covered wagons. Would like to see more close ups of the train.

Thanks! Some of the fun moving / dynamic elements in the display are:

- motorized waterfall

- flickering campfire in native american village

- lights on most of the town buildings

- eagle that soars in a circle around rightmost mountain

- train circles the town on 9v track

We hope to capture that dynamicity in an upcoming video

Here are some of those dynamic elements (video during setup so the train isn't running yet)

Great Wild West town!   There are many beautiful and interesting details to see. On the right side I see some Mexicans on horses coming to collect money from the bank. On the bottom right 3 guys are waiting for the train. Very nice different houses, a working waterfall, the railway, an Indian village, a covered wagon that is about to be robbed.

Thanks @NOD! Here is a video of the moving waterfall

Loving the waterfall river, and it's a good sandy color. Really wholes the place together.

Gorgeous diorama, the mountain looming over the village is great!
The moving waterfall is the icing on the cake!
