Greg:

The Sargents roundhouse was gone before WWII. This is Gunnison. Rotary OO was kept in the end stall in the first photo. I was kept there as an engine could push it across the turntable directly into the stall. The turntable was not long enough for the rotary and an engine both.

The brick portion was original. The D&RGW built three new larger wooden stalls for the K37s in the late 30s.
