This post is a about some recently discovered / published RGS film footage.

The first is a short but interesting clip featuring Goose #3 in 1935, plowing snow and later pulling into a crowded Dolores depot.  The Goose was nearly new, and in its original dark paint scheme.  Chris Weiser discovered this clip, and the Ridgway RR Museum noted it, in their Jan 2015 newsletter.

I think a few of you asked to see the rockwork w/ actual trains in the pictures.  Still prepping for the RailFun open houses next weekend, I've declared the rockwork good enough for the moment, and restored operations.  Here's a few photos...

See the blog for a full set of photos, but I'll post a couple below, here, as well.

There is a serious effort to rebuild a portion of the narrow-gauge Silverton Northern, running north out of Silverton Colorado to Howards Fork.  They're looking to raise $10,000, and have about $3800 raised so far.

More details are in this article:

I've been busy building landforms for Ophir Loop, now that the photo backdrops in this area are complete.  Have a look:

I've been working along, and have just installed my first photo backdrops - three of them, in fact.  Read on for lots of photos & details:

Life slowed down a little, and I'm back to working on the Ophir highline scenery...

Following up the last post, I've added plaster cloth above the tunnels, and started on rockwork nearby.  Lots of photos, again!
