          3: Ruphe & Tumbelle number 28 gets ready to take on
        
        
          water at Cresco summit on Rick Reimer's layout.
        
        
          Loco number 28 is a Broadway Limited Imports C-16 which
        
        
          started its life in the D&RGW silver and yellow bumblebee
        
        
          paint scheme. Rick carved off all of the cast on piping and
        
        
          replaced it with wire loosely following photos. He repainted
        
        
          the locomotive in basic black, and lightly weathered it.
        
        
          The light rail, light ballast, and weeds growing through the
        
        
          ballas add to the feel of a backwoods railroad.
