    In this final episode host Chris Chianelli visits Georgetown, Colorado, high in the Rocky Mountains, to talk about just that--mountains. And what better place to talk about high peaks than the Rocky Mountains? Chris visits the historic Georgetown Loop Railroad, a line originally built to get to the silver mines carved into this rugged terrain. This landscape will impress any model railroader.

    Then a model railroader, who knows how to move and make mountains, is visited. Meet Sam Posey, race-car driver turned train obsessive. Sam has perfected making mountains by using blue foam construction material.

    Back in the studio Chris is joined by Miles Hale, a master model railroader. Miles demonstrates an easy technique for making mountains using latex molds and Plaster of Paris. Finally, Miles shares some tips on painting mountains.
