Urgent Delivery in o scale
M68 class Western 4-8-4 High balls down the Longmont Terminal and Northern with a priority manifest from Cheyenne. Models used are Precision Scale Company Boo Rim build 4-8-4 Western M68, Rail’s Unlimited resin CB&Q door and half box car, Drake Imports brass tank cars, custom build Rock Island war emergency gondola converted to TOFC. Bridge was built using brass Imports from OMI, and scratch built. Bridge is typical of Colorado Arroyo crossings that include river and dry creek bed that will often flood. Module was built by John Johnson and myself. John scratch built the deck scale spikes and every tie plate including every detail to Rio Grande standards. I helped in the detailing and weathered and scenery. I did the photography and final editing. Some cloning was done to hide to the edge of the module fascia. I added the exhaust and as always used from a prototype photo I took of a real steam locomotive, the module was shot outdoors with moderate light and studio lights.
