I'm another one of those "subsidiary" modelers: C&S Northern Division in HO Scale, Denver to Longmont, 1958. (Richard Townsend, thank you for your recent ORER post.) I've operated with a generic Trai
Steve, October 1961 is very close to my 1958 date, so barring any 1950s C&S or Q train sheet surfacing, that would be more than sufficient for my needs. If you could scan or photograph your October 1

Thanks Hol. I always thought that 1946 was a bit late to be investing in a new coaling facility. BTW, I built an animated model of that coaling station for my HO scale C&S Ry. Northern Division layou

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 From: CBQ@groups.io [mai
Nicely modeled Ray! I especially like the coal bunker extensions. I’ve scratched a few oil bunkers for my 2-8-2s, but did not add coal extensions like you did. Nicely weathered and I like the r
Thank you Louis. As a prototype modeler, the engine facility had to be very recognizable as Rice Yard: its coaling station, sand tower, roundhouse with a representative variety of stalls, etc. Jim Fr

Tim, It’s been a while, but I painted the most recent cab roofs with ModelFlex Light Tuscan Oxide Red (no. 16-14). I’m sure others on this list will have good recommendations too. Precisi

Mark, Sounds like you checked out the rest of the Time Table. ATSF No 53 runs south from Denver ’s Rice Yard to South Denver . SD is south end staging on the layout, and it’s just a 40 fo
