Although models have been displayed at most of our Conventions, 2007 was the first year that cash prizes were awarded to the models. This was divided into six classes.
Locomotives – Freight Cars – Passenger Cars – Maintenance of Way – Caboose – Structures. Not all classes were represented this time but plans were laid for the next time around.
Tim Dannels’ F Scale Mason Bogie #5, the Leadville. Scratch built from the myLargescale.com website. |
Another Mason Bogie by Duncan Harvey. This one the San Juan in HOn3 for a contrast in size. |
The South Park was famous for its Mason Bogies. Only natural that this would be a favorite form of motive power for the South Park modeler. HOn3
|
The South Park Zephyr modeled in HOn3 by Bob Schoppe. Proof the Rio Grande Southern wasn’t the only railroad with neat railcars. |
Master brass craftsman Dan Windolph displayed his scratch built parlor coach in On3 with complete interior details. What, no running water? |
The short lived Argentine Central was closely associated with the C&S narrow gauge system so this On3 Shay by Dan Abbott was eligible for the contest.
|
To round out the various scales modeled, Dan Kempf brought this excellent rendition of the Idaho Springs depot all the way from Michigan. Sn3 is Dan’s scale.
