D&RGW #494 crossing the bridge at Cordova canyon - The Arch
bridge, fabricated from Central Valley and Micro Engineering
girders, was scratch built by the author. The arch has a
catenary shape dictated by calculated equilibrium forces at
girder junctions. (RM) |

#169 & #278 passing at Hesperas Junction from aisle - The
same elements and placement of #169 and #278 that of picture
directly below
but photographed from the fascia looking North. The depth
perspective is enhanced by smaller tree sizes with higher
elevations. (SL) |

#169 & #278 Passing at Hesperas Jct - Looking to the west at
the passing track at Hesperas junction there is #278 and #169.
The distance from the left edge of the engines to the backdrop
is about 8 inches. Photo above is the same scene from a
different angle. (SL) |

Tellurton From El Capitan - Tellurton is a busy place as
shown from photographing it from the cliffs above the factories
at Foster siding. After coming out of Tellurton tunnel, #278 is
to handle passenger actions at Tellurton station, a Gunnison
station kit. (SL) |

Tellurton composite This photo is a composite panoramic view
to show the reconstructed portion of the layout shown in photo
in the section on removal of the layout from Jeff Dutton's home.
In my basement there is a column in front of the town of
Tellurton forcing me to use the panoramic stitching of photos to
create an “after” photo. (SL) |

#25 heading to Freight Station - The mountains rocks are
another example of the fine craftsmanship of Jeff Dutton |

#278 below Howe truss - Looking westerly from Tellurton
there is #278 heading eastbound past El Capitan to Hidden

Hobo campfire built by Jeff Dutton has had its flickering
incandescent red/yellow painted lamp replaced by a fiber optic
fire simulator. A rotating disc illuminates the fiber bundle
that imitates the effects of dancing hot embers of a burning
campfire. (RM) Click here
