2008 Convention Model Contest - Leadville, CO

Here is a very nice selection of display models brought by the modelers who attended the 2008 Convention.  These always draw much interest and hopefully this can grow into a much bigger part of the activities in the future.

 

 

Gary Schwenke brought this beautiful C&S #8 Mogul from Illinois for the show. Modified and superdetailed to F scale (1:20.3) an LGB engine.

Only  because the DSP&P temporarily shared track with the D&RG did we allow this Nn3 Consolidation  by Steve Schweighofer to join the fun.  And there you have the two extremes in narrow gauge modeling!

 

Dan Abbott  displayed a group of 3 different versions of C&S Cabeese.  That is plural for Caboose isn’t it? Nice models in HOn3.

 

 

Dan Windolph likes scratch building passenger cars in On3.  This combination car is built with brass and wood components.

Dan does have other On3 engines besides Shays, but again this year displayed a different engine.  Actually runs on the Argentine Central section of his layout.

Highly detailed underside on this DSP&P gondola by Duncan Harvey in HOn3. Display stand featured a mirror to see the underside detail.  Unfortunately, this shot didn’t show that feature.
