Yes, the 'Anyone Need Help Finding Something?' topic is back, my school was the trouble, but know I have Summer Vaction! I thought, "Why not? I have the time.". So, and I have twice as much links with my friend finally getting an Windows XP instead of the 94' Windows. I Back! You may post, for any scale, any item!
But the item must be real! An example of what NOT to put is an B&O Dash 9-44CW!
Put engines you knowexist!
Thank you!

1st one.
Find me a brass shay that meets the following criteria:
-H0 scale
-class "b" (two truck).
-coal burning
-little or no tarnish/ maybe a paint job?
-trying to stay under 400$ mark but will go over if it looks good.
-need a picture with it to verify. I will not go on just words alone.
Sounds easy enough but I'm having a surprisingly difficult time.

Ebay yes, good yes, you tell me if you want something else.
How about trying to locate a Sunset Models DD-1 in N-scale(other than that $650 one on ebay right now)?

I suppose HO? It is the most popular scale.
Thanks for that SteamGene, I'll keep that in mind when looking for further items in brass, although I picked that one, I was pretty set up, 3 HO brass untitled and unpainted brass HO 2 trunk shays were below it, and it doesn't even go over $300.00.

Don't worry GG,
I found the old 'wish list' of the old topic, your EF3 was already on it, but I addded the other locomotives as well.
Conrail:
Your model is on my list of things to find, don't worry.
He asked for a coal burner - this is PFM is an oil burner.
As an example, let's suppose I ask you to find a C&O H-7 as sold to Union Pacific and you locate an as delivered with Vandy tender. Have you helped me out?
Gene
GG, have you sen the Imperial Hobby Productions EP-5 and FL-9?
Timothy
Not in person! They look good! I'd like to get their F10's. Also, Kaslo is doing a MK1500D and SDL39!

Spectrum 2-8-0, undec, for under $50
Where!!!!!!!
Guilford Guy;
I heard Rick Abramson at the Prototype meet saturday mention that that company that is supposed to be making the die-cast EF-3, etc will be ready soon. I can't think of the name now, but you probably know it. The EP-5, EP-4, etc will follow, I am sure. It sounds as if New Haven type motors will be his mainstay.
Rich
Aren't you able to remove the oil tank and replace it with coal? My friend had an oil burning, he turned it into a coal burner...
E-mail me if you can if you need to know how, if you can that is. I'm not sure if it is possible. You guys can always e-mail me for any help. Although it is much much better to post here, that way you have more expert advise.

Do you mean Riverpoint Station? Given how long it's taken (5 years) to get to this stage, I'm not particularly optimistic. Then again, now that I'm an N scaler, maybe they will actually come out with them soon, just to mock me :-\.

I was looking for B&M brass models and stumbled on these...

Fairly Expensive Wood Burner.

Santa Fe Buff,
I'm producing a historical photo album for the local preservation society and museum. I have pictures of all the railroad depots from Denver, past the Moffat Tunnel, to Bond and the Yampa Valley Mail route to the end of the line at Craig, Colorado...except for the following.
Tabernash, Colorado
Parshall, Colorado
McCoy, Colorado
Toponas, Colorado
Most of these are on the "endangered historical buildings" list, scheduled to be removed this year by UP for safety and liability reasons. They are all within 200 miles of where I live, and hopefully I can get pictures later on this fall. However, for the purpose of the album, I need pictures during the first years of use. I believe they were all built before 1917.
I spent weeks searching and couldn't find anything, but you might get lucky.
Thanks
Bob
did you try old reliable Denver public library?
(http://photoswest.org/photos/10013751/10013760.jpg)
I having trouble too, I found this, I don't think it's what you need.
http://www.rkymtnhi.com/Visitors/Towns/Parshall/
I went to the Colorado online Historical Society, but I found a book about old Colorado depots, but someone checked it out, but I'm in Illinois, near the border to Indiana, like I'm going to travel to Colorado, oh well. I'll keep trying, but I have to leave today for my friend's graduation party.
Paul
Yes I did but no depots for the cities in question. Do you have a link for the post office picture?
Are those people waiting for the railroad to lay tracks? I'm talking Iron Horse, not Pony Express. LOL

But it appears they are more likely posing for the photo of the depot. I think it is like a monument for them to have built it. It's almost similar to saying, "lets get a picture with that steamer.", and gathering up for the photo.
Paul and Buff,
Thanks for the links. I found the phone number for the Granby Model RR Club, contacted their president and got some information.
Tabernash...original depot torn down, now a tourist/ski community serving the Winter Park Ski area. There is a large Wye turnaround for the ski train from Denver, very prosperous coummunity.
Parshall and McCoy...no depot.
Toponas...General store with post office.
Also found picture of the postal stop at Hot Sulphur Springs.
Kremmling depot is scheduled for demolition in August, hope to get a picture of the depot in July. Building has asbestos siding, and located between tracks.
We don't have much hope to save the Craig depot, it's also between tracks and is in pretty bad condition.
Thanks again,
Bob
if you right click the image it shows properties of denver library.
