I can't help but murmer about the wonderful details in this awesome picture Doug.  You saw missing Trussrods, I saw the Chamberlain-Dillingham Sampler, the Moscript&Hassell Planing House and the Scale track.  Which in turn led to answer Harry Brunks age old question...

Harry Brunk wrote in his series Up Clear Creek on The Narrow Gauge in Nov/Dec 1985 NG&SL Gazette about some changes at Idaho Springs.
 
"I have seen documents dated August 2, 1904 from the Colorado Railroad Museum for an Authority For Ependiture (AFE) for moving Track Scales from Georgetown to Idaho Springs.  The total expenditure was $460.00, but the reason for moving the scales was not given - neither was the location of the installation of the scales in Idaho Springs.  I would have like (sic) to have included the scales on my model of Idaho Springs but their location never came to light."

Those of you who have this issue of the Gazette and/or the Book version of the series may wish to add a notation about said Scales located at the Chamberlain.

FWIW
