Bernhard posted photos
of these 66’ gondolas

3. It’s 1938 and DRG&W 451 winds it way towards Durango on
the Silverton Branch in Colorado. The crew has the train well
in hand as they work at a leisurely pace. Bill Beverly took this
photo on the Slim Gauge Guild Model RR Club in Pasadena, CA.
The locomotive is a brass model from PBL and the cars are built
from kits. Sn3 is the scale for these beautiful models (next page).

2. CP 8759 is on the point of a general freight heading east.
The setting sun has slipped under the clouds, making the sky
look more foreboding than it really is. Forum member Andrew
(AnEntropyBubble) shared this photo. He also has started
many of the Weekly Photo Fun postings.
