I just got confirmation from Bill that the C&S baggage cars 1 and 2 are a go, fully funded in Sn3 by Mike and myself. Bill is planning to do correct trucks for the cars, the ones with a longer wheel base and inside hung brake shoes. If any one is interested in expanding the project to include HOn3 and O scale, please contact Bill directly. Plenty of time, tentatively scheduled for early 2023.

If you check the Co-Op dashboard, the On3 Pullman Palace project is morphing and growing. Now funded in all three scales, it will include 1880s Pullman Palace Cars with lettering for both DSP&P and D&RG. It has also grown to include the Tourist sleepers, one of which was converted to a coach: UPD&G 193, in 1899 C&S 153, finally C&S 62, used until abandonment.

So if you can't find or afford OMI coaches, the baggage cars and coach 62 make a two car passenger train possible.

The Pullman project will also include business car 910, also converted from an early Pullman:

Denver Water board Special taking water at Selkirk, January 1929. Business car 910 at the rear.


So, Keith, the C&S "brass hats" can travel from Denver to Leadville in style, to inspect that trestle and investigate why it has taken so long to install those extra stringers . . .
