RIO ALLOSIUS MINING & Co.

[LLOYD]

Hello Verne,

thank you for your interest.
my little fictitious Mining Co is somewhere in south of Arizona, in a desert and arid place where only some cacti and small bushes live....and rattkesnake....
Saguaro cactus are hand made with modeling past ( FIMO ) cook with the furnace....
Of course I'm fan of your Estrella & Sonora Grande and Mogollon Railway of W.C. Greene...
Other  photos...

Looks like you're having fun with it Lloyd and I like the era you chose . If I could ever sell all my mid 50's based HO stuff I would most definitely go On30 , turn of the century , western motif .

Lloyd-your layout is looking really fine! The switchbacks remind me of the Gilpin Tramway, one of my favorite lines. The little 0-6-0t is extremely nice, so it was a brass kit? Is it on a Bachmann mechanism? Expiring minds want to know.

Howdy,

Woodie, the little 060 is a kit from Backwood Miniature, and I've backdated with domes, stack, headlight from PSC.The B'man mechanism run very well and slowly!
Not having a DCC one my little layout, I upgrade all my engine with Faulhaber motor....
The Gilpin Tram is one of my favorite line too, and the last book is great...

Hello Lloyd, Verne, Folks...Really like the back dated motive power you are doing, especially the 4-4-0...she's a beaut!

Keep up the work and post more,

Jeffrey
