Colorado
Eastern - Completion!
The layout is now complete and ready for
operation. If I remembered to hook all the right wires to the right
rail, and if I did a good job with the track the trains should run
perfectly....... and they did!
I bought a Bachmann
BumbleBee set, as it has the appropriate black and yellow scheme form
the Denver & Rio Grande Western that was used by the Durango &
Silverton.
The original locomotive that came with the set was slightly damaged, but
a call to Bachmann's service department solved the problem: they sent me
a new locomotive free-of-charge! So kudo's to Bachmann for their great
customer service, and for their very nice G Scale equipment!
See the next web page for photos of the first operations
on the Colorado Eastern.
PROJECT COMPLETION DATE: 11/23/03
Well, it's not totally complete, because when spring comes I will be
planting a lot of miniature trees and plants, but for several weekend's
work and about $1000, it was a fun project! Hope you enjoyed reading
about it! |
Layout is basically complete!
