Historic D&RG T-12 model
| May 02, 2020 09:08AM |
Hi guys,
Recently while hanging out in Creede, I noticed this photo on the museum of D&RG #166. It's possibly the first train to Creede:
The interesting part is what's sitting on the pilot:
Anyone know any history on this? It's a pretty early model, possibly built by a Grande machinist. I'd love to know more about it, and if it still exists.
Cheers,
Matt
