For several years I was involved with the Sunrise Division, NMRA, in Aurora, CO. Sunrise has a rather large modular layout that is frequently seen at model railroad events around Colorado. In 1990 (or maybe it was 1991) I took a time-lapse video as we were setting it up for "Model Train Mania" on the 37th floor of the 1999 Broadway Building in Denver. It occurs to me that the art of modular railroading has changed a lot since then and this footage might have some "historic significance." Well, maybe not, but I share it anyway.
