Re: 463 in Chama

Thanks Bob, and FordCVP71,
Your surely right, and that photo on page 52 is right on the spot. I guess the rope broke so an engine did the job. Wonder why they could not use a cut of empties as "reach cars". Maybe it was run up there for some damm railfan who wanted that special photos, namely Fred Jute?

The photo on page 50 shows a rope or cable. I would say a power engine is in the shed under the end of the trestle as there is a lower pulley and a smoke stack above the roof of the shed (or is that a pole?). Couldn't the rope or cable be looped to attach to a locomotive to provide pull?

Bob, that is an impressive and beautiful model. Thanks for sharing it with us. Wonder if Chama has been modeled this way by someone like you did for Sargents?
