Model

Colorado & Southern 2-6-0 Mogul #22. This is a Bachmann engine with some modifications. We added a beartrap smokestack and a few other details. We also added a DCC module and a SoundTraxx sound module. The speaker is in the tender where the original coal load was. We added some side boards and a new coal load to cover the speaker. We then weathered it with paint and chalks.

Note that the Bachmann model has a couple of inaccuracies. (I mean beside the fact that this 3-foot gauge engine is modeled in On30.) For much of it's life, #22 had a Ridgway (beartrap) smokestack. And the manufacturers plate on the model says Rogers Locomotive Works #34942, July 1910. The real C&S #22 was built by Brooks as #755 in August 1882. Aside from these details, the model is actually a pretty good replica of the prototype.

See the prototype steam section of this web page for information on the real C&S #22.

Real

Colorado & Southern 2-6-0 Mogul #22 started life as Denver South Park & Pacific #35. It was built by Brooks (#755) in August 1882 and named "Dillon". It had 15x18 cylinders and 38" drivers, and weighed 60,000 lbs. It was light and a poor steamer. Engine crews didn't like her. The builders photograph of this engine from the Lad Arend Collection can be seen on page 170 of The South Park Line (see book list below). It has a huge diamond stack, Victorian style domes, and a long wooden pilot.

In 1885, it was renumbered as DSP&P #162. In 1889, it became Denver, Leadville, & Gunnison #162. It was rebuilt and reboilered in August 1894, with a new weight of 63,250 lbs. It became Colorado & Southern #22 in 1899, class B-3B.

C&S #22 received 40" drivers about 1910, and remained in service after the other Brooks-built engines were gone. It was often used as a yard switcher in Denver along with its sister engine #21. It was scrapped in March, 1927.

Class B-3B 2-6-0 Mogul was built by Brooks in 1882 (but the manufacturers plate on the model says Rogers 1911). It had 15x18 cylinders and 38" drivers, and weighed 60,000 lbs. It was rebuilt and reboilered in late 1890s, with a new weight of 63,250 lbs, and received 40" drivers about 1910.

ciao a tutti

a quanto pare vendo che a tutti arrivanno i pacchetti, tranne a me. Il mio primo ed unico acquisto di narrow gauge americano ormai lo do per disperso....dopo 2 mesi....

ciao

Milanes,

non voglio farti nutrire inutili speranze, ma a me un pacco mi è arrivato dopo tre mesi. Il mio acquisto era avvenuto via e-bay. Nel frattempo, avendo pagato con Paypal, attivai in tempo il reclamo e l'importo mi fu rimborsato. Poi ho riproposto successivamente al venditore l'importo.
Se hai pagato con carta di credito contatta la società (VISA, Cartasi) segnalando tutti i dati e riceverai il rimborso. E una prassi normale.

ciò che ho comperato é arrivato nel giro di al massimo un paio di settimane.
