[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by chevypanel52 We're modelling the D.&R.G.W. from Pueblo to Colorado Springs in the '50's and need information, drawings and/or photos of various structures, specifically Pueblo Union Depot and freight station, Pueblo Yard Tower, Holmes Hardware, etc., plus the Colorado Springs station. As some of these structures still exist, perhaps someone in the area could snap a few digital shots and take a few measurements, as we're in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Thanks. [/quote] chevypane- as a personal observation thats the Joint Line and in my 2 years researching the DRGW- probably the least interesting part of the RR to some extent. Mainly flat land and could be a rr anywhere/ anytime exceot for the names. However who am I to criticise your choice ? I'm creating a fictional 'branch' in N scale in 4x2! I'd suggest checking in and joining the DRGW Yahoo List; among others these have a wealth of info; and ready access to 'experts' -heres a few off the top- http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/DRGW/ You havent said what scale, so I assume HO but theres also http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DRGWnScale/ My own :group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nscale1930-75/ is new and hasnt seen a lot of inpiut yet but we're workin' it .. The Rio Grande Modeling & Historical Society http://www.drgw.org/ and a host of excellent sites off DRGW Ring http://pub15.bravenet.com/sitering/show.php?usernum=1252910419 particularly Nathan Holmes <http://www.drgw.org/> that also hosts a searchable mirror of ther Yahoo DRGW group and elist above. I'm not sure where you'd get your plans request completed but the DRGW are a pretty friendly folk and will soon point you in the direction you desire. Strange as it may seem you have Jim Eager in/ near your home who is a DRGW expert and writer of many western US roads! regards from NZ dave[8)]
