In the summer of 1974 I made a two day trip through Colorado looking at trains. Interesting but that was it. Then I walked into a hobby shop and staring me in the face was a copy to the "Slim Gauge News" with Alpine tunnel on the cover. I picked it up and the hook set, I have been modeling C&S since.

The "steam funnel" in the last picture is for blowing down a steam engine. You move the engine so the blow down valve is facing the square hole. When you do the blow down the steam enters the hole and is diverted up and out the top.
