Yes, I see now, Chris.  The north and south ridgelines are the same, just more trees in the later photo.  The "wide open spaces" feel of the 1920s photo threw me.  Guess I'm use to all your busy, busy, busy urban scenes of Idaho Springs.

Robert, I too would like 3 or 4 of the excursion cars in Sn3.  They were also used for day excursions out of Denver to Platte Canon destinations like Dome Rock picnics and trips to Crystal Lake for dances at the Pavilion.  Often, the trains were taken on to Pine and turned, waiting to return to Denver at the end of the day outings.

Do I see a possible Leadville Shops laser cut project in the works, in both S and O scales?  No complicated clerestory roof to fabricate!  The trucks could be a problem though.
