My Colorado & Southern empire focuses on the C&S around the 1935 era when the railroad
was still a viable opration but the future was starting to look a little bleak. As
such the equipment was receiving less preventative maintenance and
piees were retired when major investment was required for repairs. Despite the
cash crunch, there remained an interesting mix of equipment in revenue service
which I am attempting to capture.
Here are a selection of some equipment.
Motive Power
Number 75
 |
The picture on the left shows the model fresh out of the box from the
manufacturer.
The pictures below are of the model after David Steer painted the model. The model has a
working headlight along with glass in the cab windows. The sliding sash windows were
removed to accommodate the Engineer and Fireman. |
Number 537
Number 8
D&RGW No. 268 (Bumble Bee)

Coach
Pagosa Junction Car

The Pagosa Junction Car was a creation of the D&RGW Shops designed to
service the Farmington Branch. This car played the role of coach, baggage and caboose
all roled into one. The photo on teh left is of the model as it arrived from Iron Horse Models. |

Here is the same model after custom painting by David Steer. |
Caboose

This is an old United brass model that I have added under carriage details,
new ladders and the late C&S paint scheme. |
