1880's Colorado Narrow gauge on 45mm track
Hi,
On Sunday with wall to wall sunshine I took the camera out and took some photos of some of my stock. Here are some of the results
Both my Mason Bogies together, the Accucraft one is the green version.
D&RG number 99 as Bachmann should have painyed it - this ios the correct colours for it. It was bought seconhand and has a sounsd card in it. Taken on my 'photograohic' trestle.
A bit furtheer on for the train and it is passing netween the ancillary huts and in front of the water tower before the station.
Looking the other way and the staion building is hidden by the loco!
Lifting the camera up a bit the staion building can now be seen
This loco & coacjh is patterned after F W Webb's coupe on the L&NWR. MyLragescale.com were doing a Masterclass fopr the first loco of the Southern Pacific railroad; that was, and is (its preserved) a 4 2 4 - thats right - a single driver loco; I decided to make it instead a 2 4 4 4(incl. the rear coach bogie). The bits were from Hartland Loco works, and the rest I made, he coach is scratchbuilt and has a full interior and that is the subject of the next photo
Finally in these days of digital camers and quick and easy photos as look back to the very old days - lots of light was needed to take photos so 'Photo Galleries' required huge windows to admit it. here is my photo gallery wit the huge windows on show. Both are clear styryren from CD cases with my normal sindow framing system: the rea has another layer pre painted to look like curtains. Transfers are still needed but at least they are designed! It has been placed by the station to get as much trade as possible!
Even nearer to the station is a Western Union office - for all the sdalesman to telegraph their order 'back east' to the employers.
Enjoy!
