K-37 495 pulls a short work train testing some track in what will be my Gunnison yard. Nice seeing a K-37 under steam isn't it!

Very cool, William. Don't see much 3rd Division stuff.

Thanks Jason, I hope to fill that void! I will be modeling Gunnison to Salida and hope to have the mainline done and operable in the next couple months. I will post updates as I progress.

Looking forward to your updates, William.

Any plans to include Cimarron someday? Always loved that little town.

Jason

Can't go as far as Cimarron but may do a section to Sapinero. I've recently discovered that there was a full blown lumber mill at Sapinero which shipped by rail until the end of operations so it will be a nice industry to add to the layout, and Sanpinero was quite interesting in it's own right. Wish I had the space to go all the way to Cimarron it was a very cool place when the RR was in operation.
