Re: Rio Grande Southern 20

Believe it or not we didn't really plan to do this shot. Jim Wrinn was hoping we could, but we didn't go into details about it.

Tom Gillan (the brakeman) our volunteer decided on his own to dress like the brakeman in Bill's photo. Tom had only seen that photo for the first time a week ago.
When Tom came in the morning we all thought the same thing. We have to try to recreate the photo.

I had 2 toolboxes on the loco already, I should have looked at the photo before we staged it. I should have moved the 1 in front of the steam dome, the cab shade should have been up, ect.

To be fare she would also need a different paint job, and whistle.

I at least got the rods in the same position.
