Steam & Excursion > Colorado Live Steamers Open House Sept 15-17Date: 09/15/17 11:40 Colorado Live Steamers Open House Sept 15-17 Author: cozephyr Rich Ulin with his Colorado & Southern Railway 70 oil burner at Colorado Live Steamers north of Byers, Colorado, September 15, 2017. Open house there this weekend.

Rich built a lot of equipment for a friend of mine, including a West Side Shay #15, A K-27 and two exquisitely detailed coach cars. Mike Massee Tehachapi, CA Photography, Railroading and more..

The No.70 you see is a 2-1/2" scale, 7-1/2" gauge C&S 2-8-0. CLS has 7-1/2" gauge track on the ground and elevated 4-3/4" and 3-1/2" gauge.
