@norfolkwestern10 C-41s were standard Gauge 2-8-0s that the ones covered narrow and became the k-37s. C-21s were outside frame 2-8-0s originally build for the Crystal River Railroad in northern Colorado and were later sold to the DRGW becoming 360, and 361, also Crystal River sold what became DRGW 375 a c-25.

Awsome. I wish I was there, I love the D&RGW #315. I fell in love with that engine when I first saw a video of it moving under its own power. :D I also love those green D&RGW coachs. Is the D&S going to leave those coachs green. It makes it look like the San Juan is back. :D

Really great work Tim. That 473 cracks like a rifle! I rode behind it in 1967.

Now I really want to revisit the land of the narrow gauge! :)
