This is my
seven-year-old son, Garrett, at the
throttle of his grandfather's 1.5-inch Southern Pacific
consolidation #3420X pulling out of the Indian Gap
yard on the Comanche and Indian Gap Rail Road. The tack is located
on the ranch of Roy Pickhard' near
Priddy, Texas.

2 1/2"/foot model D&RGW
OP derrick and
idler car that was built by Eric Bracher of Saratoga, Ca and then
modified by me. It was originally on 1 1/2" scale trucks and some
detail was missing so I built and installed Conway 2 1/2" trucks and
added brake and other details from Como Roundhouse Products. The
photo was taken on a trestle on the Flintridge and Portola Valley
Railroad, Western Division owned by my neighbor and friend Ron
Schmidt. Peter Moseley
