The concept of my work bench has become increasingly blurred as I venture further into the Solid Works design program on my computer. Although it is not C&S, or even South Park, I hope the group will tolerate a couple shots of my ongoing design project - On3 model of a D&RG bobber caboose built in the D&RG shops to the design of 1883.
This model (design version #2) is a Solid Works design completely computer printed by Protolabs, Inc (except the San Juan On3 wheels and the Grandt Line brake wheel) in high density styrene like plastic at 0.002" resolution. The sides, ends, roof, copula, frame/floor, end railings and running gear bolsters are separate parts which I assemble. The model was spray painted with acrylic Tamiya IPN (Imperial Japanese Navy) gray.
This is a "mock up" model to see and evaluate how things look in real space. I have made many improvements since this model and now have various stove pipe designs, two and one side window design variations and a design variation with end steps as seen on #49 at the CRM. I am well down the road on the interior design.
A flock of these narrow gauge CRS TRUST "E" D&RG cabooses, as well as seventy CRS TRUST "E" 24 ft. stock cars, were sent to the D&RGW(Utah) in 1886 by the D&RG to settle a dispute about the disposition of Colorado Rolling Trust "E" (CRS TRUST "E"). This transferred equipment subsequently came under Rio Grande Western ownership.
Does anybody have any information on how these cabooses were lettered on the D&RGW (Utah)/Rio Grande Western??
These Utah cabooses eventually were purchased from the Rio Grande Western by the Rio Grande Southern in 1897 but were apparently to too far gone to be put into RGS operation. The D&RG also sold one to the Silverton RR/Silverton Northern.
Design version #3 (the final version hopefully!) is almost finished pending an hour or so crawling under caboose #49 at the CRM.
