This photo shows Eric with Rusty's "Richardson" section of the layout set up in his basement. Eric has always been an American Flyer modeler, but upon photographer Fred's encouragement to come to one of Rusty's operating session, he caught the "scale" bug, and is now planning on expanding this layout.

Eric added a cattle processing facility to one end of the "Richardson" section. Eric is an artist. He painted the backdrop shown in these photos. It is representative of Colorado.
