Everyone is ravingabout his new piece of music, “Rhap-sody in Blue.” Back in 1920, he wrotethe song “Lady, Be Good” which placedhim in the spotlight! These were goodtimes, especially for the “Socialites” ofthe times.As this was going on, in another partof the country, in the heart of the Rock-ies, it was a totally different world. Anisolated world, a world of harsh weath-er, machinery to maintain, and a sched-ule to keep. This was a world ofrailroading, making sure to have every-thing in order and to keep the customerhappy. That or go out of business. Timeswere not easy here at all! Communica-tion with the outside world was onlythrough the railroad and this was not4•O Scale Trainsvery dependable. People in these partswere more concerned about making aliving than worrying what was the latesthit on Broadway. As a matter of fact,most people here were still whistling“Yankee Doodle Dandy” from GeorgeM. Cohan written for the Great Warback in 1917 or so.This is a story of three friends ofalmost twenty years. All three grew upin the South and decided to go out Westto get a job on the railroad. One was agreat machinist (excellent scratch-builder). They sent him to the SouthernDivision, to design and work on enginesand locomotives. The next was goodwith people and keeping a team spirit(great public relations), and he was sentto the Central Division, to make surethat all divisions kept the same goal ofproper communications. And, the lastone, the one who could get informationand parts for the railroad, especiallyfrom Denver & Rio Grande, was sent tothe Northern Division.These three friends model the Col-By the engine house, we can see a combine in the processof being converted into a Doodlebug.Number 72 heading east an hour late toward Shelf Canyon, gave Mr. Richard as he was leaving his office the opportunityto view the new “Reefers” (Rio Grande Hobby) that the RR had acquired.orado & Southern Railroad in the mid20’s. Their version of this railroad isdivided into three parts; the Northern,Central, and Southern Divisions, threedifferent model layouts with one theme.The proprietor of the Southern Divi-sion layout is Geraldo Diaz. He livesgeographically most southerly of allthree layouts, hence the Southern Divi-sion. Geraldo (Jerry) is an exceptionalscratchbuilder and model builder. Jerryhas been a model railroader all of hislife and has worked in all scales. TheSouthern Division is installed in a 15’ x15’ room, there he also paints andscratchbuilds rolling stock and enginesfor all three divisions. His layout is L-Girder type and his main line is basedon a folded dogbone.The second gentleman lives betweenthe Southern and Northern divisions.Mike Font is the proprietor of the Cen-tral Division. He is an outstandingmodel builder and has the talent to keepthe group together. Communicationsbetween the divisions are great becauseof him. Eighty percent of his layoutcame from our previous HOn3 modularclub. He finished it up in his 12’ x 20’family room. Out of all three divisions,the Central is the smallest in size but hasthe most beautiful scenery.The largest division is the Northernrun by Nick Biangel. He has creativityin designing layouts and shopping forparts. The Northern Division is estab-lished in a 22’ x 26’ two car garage. It isa shelf-type layout with a peninsula inthe middle with two main lines. It hasan 11 foot yard with an adjacent enginefacility six feet long.In the summer of 1999, Nick got the“Hobo Harry” just passed by the new storage facilities of the railroad. The boxcar needed new trucks and at the time the “RR” did not have themeans, so they decided to convert it into a parts storage and situated near the engine facilities.O Scale Trains •5 [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
