I love these old photos that still survive from the era I modeI. Here's famed U.P #119 on a trestle. Obviously they were posing for this photograph.

Details... I always like to have a story behind an area just to give it interest. "Old Geezer Falls" were named after a local. There was an old recluse miner that could always be seen panning around the falls. No one knew his real name and just called him "Old Geezer". In 1867 they found him lying dead at the bottom of the falls. Obviously he fell from the falls. The folks that found him buried him right where they found him, and ever since then the area has been known as "Old Geezer Falls".

The Jupiter's counterpart at the Golden Spike Ceremony, Union Pacific's famed 119. I can't say enough about these Lionel Hybrids. They are a bit pricey, but in my humble opinion some of the nicest 4-4-0's every offered in this scale.

Famed Southern Pacific Golden Spike 4-4-0 the "Jupiter". This is one of the Lionel Hybrid 4-4-0's. These are spectacular models that run beautifully and have wonderful detail.

The last day for motive power on the CG&BR... I do have other railroads that traverse the layout from time to time. Here's Denver and Rio Grand Western Ten Wheeler No.473. This began life as an MTH Ten Wheeler that received a custom paint job, details and decals. She has a matching wood sided passenger consist to pull around the layout.

CG&BR Traction... Here's 4-4-0 No.6. This is an MTH Engine the received custom paint, details and decals.

There are several geared locos on the layout. This is Climax No.10, sole property of the Bear River Logging Company. It runs logs down from the mountains and delivers them to the mill in bear river.

Here's Heisler No.3 the "Prospector" and is the property of the Copper Gulch Mining Company. This is a Lionel Legacy Heisler that received custom paint, decals and details including the custom rack and wood load.
