Thanks for posting the photo, Geoff. Great model. It is certainly pertinent here--an 4-wheel Colorado narrow gauge bobber is a 4-wheel bobber, whether it be C&S or D&RG.

I think your model conveys how the "intermediate" or "equalized" underframe might have looked, as on the photo of C&S 306.

I'm not sure why this underframe configuration would cause problems with the application of air brakes. I've been fiddling with my S scale 3-D printed Shapeways "equalized" side frame, compared to the stock Overland "modern" undercarriage. The sill depth is the same, and the outside mounted cylinder and brake lever seem to fit right in place.
