Jim - It'd probably just be a lot simpler to just change the locomotive road number to one that was equipped with a Worthington feed water heater. 

 

According to the Corbin book, only 6303 and 6308 had Elesco feed water heaters.  All the others had Worthington feed water heaters.

 

Plus, just change the date in your video voice introduction.

 

Otherwise, you've got a world class model of the Denver steam locomotive servicing facility.  Very Well done - Louis

Thank you Louis!

 

That is a beautiful photo of No. 6308.  I can use that for accurately upgrading that Proto-2000 that starred in the video.

 

Always good info in this group!

Jim

Jim - BEAUTIFUL modeling, but the date couldn't be June 1958.  CB&Q Class M-3 2-10-2 type No. 6308 was sold for scrap in March 1954.  In fact, the entire roster of Class M-3 locomotives were sold for scrap during 1953 and 1954, Plus your No. 6308 had an Elesco feed water heated, not a Worthington as modeled. See attached image of No. 6308. Nonetheless, very well done! - Louis

As a follow-up to my HO scale Colorado & Southern Ry cab ride video, I've created an operations-oriented video entitled "Turning a Steam Locomotive":

https://youtu.be/nR8wGvz_KUI

This video follows the Denver Rice Yard Engine Foreman as he readies an incoming (leased CB&Q)  2-10-2 steam engine for its next assignment.  I think you can see why sound and animation make this a popular job during operating sessions.

It's a bit different than most model railroad videos, and I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks.
