As much as the D&S and the C&TS are great railroads to enjoy the San Juan mountains from, If the RGS would have survived I would have paid whatever it took to be able to ride the Ophir Loop.

Baldwin (D&RGW Burnham Shops) #20550, 1928 From the D&S Freighthouse Museum, Silverton, CO. Restored to operation on January 24, 2020. Converted to burn oil during the restoration. Temporarily used the throttle of sister K-37 locomotive 497 on the C&TS


What was the reason for the D&S to borrow the throttle off of 497 to be used on 493?

The D&S has 498, could it not have used its throttle, instead of using the one off 497?]]> ToltecTalk Narrow Gauge Discussion Forum Tue, 08 Sep 2026 13:37:00 -0600 https://ngdiscussion.net/phorum/read.php?1,489234,489234#msg-489234 https://ngdiscussion.net/phorum/read.php?1,489234,489234#msg-489234

They can’t be preserved (same track gauge) for the museum and operating railroad on Ohau? ! ?

This is my first post to the forum and I imagine this may be useful to many.

For the last near six months I’ve been collecting all the K-27 drawings I can to transfer the originals to CAD. These are essentially reproduction drawings and I’m aiming them at the modeller primarily. Sure you could probably build an entire locomotive from them or restore one. My goal is the have the most comprehensive source of the K-27 possible with every detail and road number, build etc explained. I do this with many locomotives and to date have a lot of files for various things. But now I need some help.

My main source has been the Denver Public Library as they hold most of the drawings and information regarding the K-27, I’ve also left my email with them for anyone inquiring regarding the K-27 to contact me and solve time and limitations. However there’s many missing drawings such as further cab details, counterweights, arrangement drawings, lots really. I’ve reached out to every possible place I can, as well as the Combres and Toltec, Huckleberry Railroad and Colorado Railroad Museum.

Can anyone shed some light on the significant amount of missing drawings?, would anyone be able to help fill in the gaps?, I’m also happy to share the CAD file as the interest is there.

Thank you and look forward to seeing where this goes. I’ve attached an overall of the CAD file.

It is about 8.5" long & 1 inch in diameter. The pointed end is ground down leaving several flat surfaces.

It was buried in a Forest Service road next to the end of an MSP spur. At first I though it might be some sort of home made pin for a link & pin coupler (which MSP used), but it is too thin & short for that. It has a slight bend in it like it was put under a load at some point.

Anyone have any ideas????]]> Dave Peterson Narrow Gauge Discussion Forum Thu, 03 Sep 2026 15:38:26 -0600 https://ngdiscussion.net/phorum/read.php?1,489083,489083#msg-489083 https://ngdiscussion.net/phorum/read.php?1,489083,489083#msg-489083 www.facebook.com]

I love the sunflowers in the foreground. Really moody, and adds to the Southwest flavor.
