Hi,

Sandy River Tom has created a stunning C&S Bobber 4-wheel caboose. She is in the library. Just what was needed for the C&S route.

Here are some images.

An excellent model. Tom has outdone himself with this one. The interior is a real treat, complete with blue speckled enamel-ware coffee pot and wash basin!

Thanks Tom!

Thanx Mike & Tim.

#1003 was an "almost twin" of #1000, except for the Cupola Grabs and the side lettering.
I've had #1003 sittin' in the back corner of the carshop throughout the build of #1000, but
today I decided to finish it, with a bit of soot on the roof. I just uploaded it to the E.T. Library.

Mike - I like the lettering on your #1009 - would that be from back in the Block-Lettered-era
that preceded the round herald???

Tom,

I'm a neophyte narrow gauge fan and cannot answer your question on "Bobber" 1009. The image is copyrighted but is at:

Lettering was asymetrical to the sides, so I fudged a bit and centered it to accomodate your mapping.

Thanks again for all your contributions to virtual narrow gauge.

Mike

Tom, wasn't there a 'fake' caboose at Silver Plume?

Thanks, Tom, for the great cabooses and other items.

Finally, I have some time to put some consists together with the great rolling stock available.

I've skinned a couple of powerful standard gauge 2-8-0 Colorado Midland locomotives for the CM portion of the C&S route, which should be in the Train-Sim file library Wednesday.

As I write this, there have been 92 downloads of the CM 2-8-0 pack, but it seems I messed up some of the lettering, so Version 2 will be in the Train-sim library on Thursday. Sorry about that.

Good Lookin' Locos there, Don.

They'd look right at home on any number of RRs!
