grande man:

Thanks for the links. I have seen some of these before, but the rest was new, interesting.

I will order that Walther's New River Mine. I have a spot on my layout that it will fit perfectly. Thanks for giving me the idea with your nice signature photo.

I don't know yet. There are so many nice places to model [:D] I have a couple of photos from the bond area, I like that scenery.

WOW, your cousin wrote it, cool [:D]

Electro,
What area of the DRGW are you going to model? The Moffat Line, Tennesse Pass? If you haven't you should read the book: Rio Grande Railroad by James R. Griffin. My cousin wrote it.

I definitely recommend James Griffin's book. Also, check these out. Glad to see another Rio Grande modeler. It's was an awesome prototype!

Yes I like D&RGW so I will try to model something like that. I have searched the net all day for great scenery pictures. And learned a lot of the D&RGW history :-)

Nice name!

Electro, these guys are telling you right, as usual. The building is Walther's New River Mine. I renamed it for the Platte Canyon Sub though (just yesterday).



Are you going to model D&RGW?

[electrolove]

Yes, that's the one, it looks absolutely fantastic. Thank you guys for helping me out with this one.

I second the vote for the "New River Mine", I have it on my layout and the picture looks identical. MRR used this kit in a kit bash on a project RR and many were dissapointed to find that it had been discontinued by Walthers. It seems to be back in stock however.

I may be wrong but I believe that is the "New River mining co."made by Walthers
