Title: Photo record of a successful restoration
Post by: gunnss on September 20, 2007, 01:04:55 AM
In Durango Co. a group of dedicated fans just finished the restoration of the 315 a D&RGW C-18 2-8-0 steam locomotive. Here is the Photo site, it took 7 years but the results are great.

Now if I could ever get around to working on the THSR 700-T I've been drooling over for years....

You can put the 315 and its tender inside our tender... the 2926 is almost a million pounds and it is 121 feet long.....
