Hi, I hope some find this useful. I have tried to list all the NG classes and list them and their cross references and known published plans. Please take this as a starting point. I am sure I have errors. Class 25 2-4-0 - NG&SLG 2006 Class 35 2-6-0 - NG&SLG 2006 and 1989 Class 37 4-4-0 Class 38 4-4-0 - Baldwin erecting card 74 Class 39 0-6-0T Class 40 2-6-0 - Baldwin erecting card 95 Class 42 4-4-0 - MR 1944 Class 42 1/2 4-4-0 Class 45 2-6-0 Class 45 1/2 4-6-0 - NG&SLG 1988 (as RGS 23) *Class 47 4-6-0 - see T12 Class 48 0-6-0T - Fine Lines May 1974 Class 56 2-8-0 - "Rainbow Route" *Class 60 2-8-0 - "Rainbow Route" - also see C16 *Class 70 2-8-0 - see C17 Class 72 2-8-0 - see C18 Class 74 2-8-0 - see C19 Class 93 2-8-0 - see C21 Class 112 2-8-0 - see C25 Class 125 2-8-2 - see K27 Class 140 2-8-2 - see K28 T12 - MR July 1948 C16 - RMC 1956 - NG&SLG in 2004 & 2005 - "Steam Locomotive Plan Manual" C17 - not yet located C18 - "Colorado Rail Annual" about F&CC p166 and NG&SLG 1985 C19 - "Steam Locomotive Plan Manual" C21 - not yet located C25 - NG&SLG 1988 K27 - MR 1971 K28 - Model Railroader Cyclopedia - Baby Grande Balsam Shops K36 - Baby Grande Balsam Shops - CAD DXF online K37 - MR 1979 - NG&SLG 1997 DM (SV 101/D&RGW 50) - NMRA Bulletin 1972 OK here's the bit. The D&RGW classification system used after 1924 usually gets shortened a bit. The full designation is actually {letter}-{TE}-{wt}[1] for ex: T-12-47 so under this system we have: C-17-70 (300-304, RGS 42) C-17-71 (306) C-18-72 (315-320) C-19-70 (340-349, RGS 40, 41) [data from D&RGW Folio #7 (CRRM reprint)] Now at some point ISTR remarking that after all the rebuilding it would have made more sense for the C-19's to be 74 at the end *but* AFAIK they never were. Pre 1924 the Classification system just ran on the engine wt, with an S or N appended sometimes to indicate gauge. So under this we had: Class 70 (400-411, 417-422) [became C-19, C-17] Class 00 (427-432) [became 317-319, 360,361,375]!?! [from reprint of 3rd Div tt #100, 3/28/1920] or Class 70 (400,401,403-408,410,411, RGS 40,41 417-419,421,422, RGS 42) Class 72 (424-429) [became 320, 315-319] Class 93 (430,431) [became 360,361] Class 112 (432) [became 375] and Class 71 (554,555) [became 305,306] [Official Roster #11, 1923 (CRRM reprint)] Doug vV
