Re: Florence & Cripple Creek RR Special?

Remember also that the F&CC used a lot of D&RG equipment throughout its career. 3000 series boxcars lettered D&RG are correct, as would be D&RG lettered gons. The 588 from CRRM plus a couple from Montana and you have freight cars Any existing D&RG short caboose would sub for F&CC cabooses 1-4 since they were built by the D&RG to their own short caboose plans, and you have a freight. I seem to remember that there are a couple of existing former F&CC passenger cars scattered about, and mix them in with some D&RG equipment and you have a true F&CC passenger train. While in many ways, 318 (8) and 20 no longer resemble their F&CC selves, a Schenectady style steam dome cover on 20 would go a long way toward restoring it to its F&CC appearence and little else needs to be changed except to put an arc headlight on it, and a large oil style headlight on the 8.
