Santa Fe's Raton Subdivision Model Railroad

Welcome to Santa Fe's Raton Subdivision—the definitive home for authentic AT&SF history and master-class modeling.

Hosted by Sam, author of 'The Madame Queen: ATSF 5000' and the last surviving member of a legendary circle of Santa Fe scholars. Sam worked personally with historians E.D. Worley and Larry E. Brasher to preserve the true history of Santa Fe motive power.

Unmatched Authority:

30 Years with #5000: Sam led the restoration and relocation of the one-of-a-kind 2-10-4 locomotive (featured on History Channel’s Mega Movers).

Master Builder: Retired commercial layout builder who created custom railroads for the public.

Today, Sam carries forward the legacy of his late colleagues, using archival research and professional craftsmanship to bring the Raton Subdivision to life in HO scale.
