Re: D&RGW Pickup Truck

I like your version Gary.

How well does that truck match up with your trains...1:20.3 I'm guessing? You mention it's 1:19 scale, interesting scale. Most of the biggies I've seen are 1:18.

The orange 1950 pickup scales out to 1:25. It's a little small for my mostly 1:22.5 layout. But they seem to fit in nicely with narrow gauge trains. It's great that 1:24 and 1:25 vehicles come in many varieties and eras. I haven't counted but I might have more vehicles then rolling stock now


This link was sent to me while I was searching for real photos. Sort of similar to the one you and I remember seeing Mike. It comes from the Pikes Peak library collection:

D&RGW MOW Truck

It says "Signal Department No. 97" under the flying Rio Grande. I didn't think a signal department would have much to do on the narrow gauge so I just went with Alamosa Div. Sort of a "what if" kind of thing.
