Description based on material supplied by the layout owner

Smoke Leaf  
Matthew Wathen HO gauge 3.5mm scale

Smoke Leaf is a simple American HO 1:87 Scale shunting layout, representing the Rio Grande Railroad during the 1970s up to the mid 1990’s. 

Smoke Leaf is a small sorting yard offering the local and co-operative businesses access to the main Rio Grande Railroad and beyond, some miles away in the fictional town of Burkittsville in Colorado. 

The shunting yard is operated by a small crew of local but experienced railroad men and women, called "leafers" and they handle the locomotives and cars you see before you with ease and confidence.
