| I turned 68 on July 9 and couldn't recall where I had seen the C&S track drawings - thanks for reminding me! Of course they are still in Las Vegas in a POD.
As to the big A diagnosis I recommend a PET scan. I got the RUC to approve payment when I worked at the Society of Nuclear Medicine.

Jeese, sometimes I think I'm getting senile! (A few years ago I was worried that I was developing early symptoms of Alzheimer's--then I forgot what they were and stopped worrying).
I've been reading this thread with interest since Jeff started it. Today, I was going through my filing cabinet to find some drawings that I wanted to scan into my computer. I spied a folder titled Colorado & Southern, Common Standards: Track and Bridges. Within the folder, I found several C&S track work drawings from the Office of the Chief Engineer, all dated 1910. I don't know how long they've been quietly hiding in the folder, perhaps from the late 1970s or early 1980s. I don't remember from where I acquired them, perhaps from the late John Maxwell? Perhaps they would be of interest in this discussion.
Evidently, the "standard' 3 foot gauge C&S stub turnout was a number 8 1/2.
This one is for you, Chris.
I don't seem to have a similar drawing for a stub turnout.
PS: I worry that many of us who post to this site are getting older and that much of
what we have collected during our lifetime, about our favorite narrow gauge railroad, will get lost as our lives wind down. Perhaps it's time to clean out our file cabinets and post as much material here as we can, where appropriate, for the use of others.
