Model Railroading > More large scale

In a couple of months many of us Live Steamers will head to the Comanche and Indian Gap railroad for a week long meet. From the past here are some engines and cars that ran there.

1. Yours truly on Jack Lucks 2-6-0 switching Comanche yard. Engine is now owned by George Berg.
2. Rich Ulin built this snazzy C&S engine. It has traveled all over the country.
3. Harry Bean's very beautiful SP 2-8-0. This engine is currently undergoing firebox repair.

1. Earl Bean is the pround owner of x-SP 2248 lettered as it was for a long time on the Ft Worth & Western.
2. Doggone shame the sun was not out bright. If it had been the red would knock your eyes out on this beautiful caboose.
3. Part of Harry Bean's train.

I had to lighten up some of these photos since the sun was behind some clouds.

Do we ship cattle on the C&I? Yep as these cars will attest.

We will end the day with these pictures of , as Frisco 1500 calls them, dismals. Yes, we let them run too.

And we close with a picture of a disgruntled Superintendent who is wondering how all these trains showed up at the same place at the same time. He must be mad cause he's got a big hammer in his hand.

Great looking stuff Tom, thanks for posting. Y'ever run over a rattlesnake out there?

Two rattlesnakes have been run over. One, Pat McCarthy of Kansas City cut in two with his 10 wheeler. The 2nd rattler was not cut but, he was plenty p----d off. Both were on night runs.

I never did run over one or see one but, on a moonless night a great big steer appeared in my headlight as I rounded a wooded curve. Dumped the brakes, hit the whistle and he leisurely walked off. Missed him by about 8 ft. It did speed up my heart rate a bit. That thing weighed twice what my engine weighed and we might have been on the losing end.
