DSP&P R.R.

Hi everyone was trying to find more information on the line and found Ross Cain's great site, so much info from history, track diagrams, plans for various items, ....

Wrote to him to thank him and told him why I was looking for the info and asked me to give him enough info to make a article for his site as there was no Virtual Model Railroad info there

Sent him a screenshot originally of Deansbury with first email then all the locos in Trainz he asked for at a very incomplete Como, carefully went through all the assets I have and yet to use based around Colorado and gave him a list of the assists and authors as I felt I could not post screenshots to a external site without giving credit to all the authors that are helping me.

At this point I must thank Colorado71, Trainbo1, Togog, Robinhoods, Elvenor, Bendorsey, Dmdrake, Dangavel and M.D. Jenkins for Basemapz for what is a lot of what i need to complete this project.

You never know might get more people intrested in building even more of this system virtually either as full layots or diplomas and a few more people will know about this wounderful program and what it can do

Another good book is "Going Railroading: Two Generations of Colorado Stories" by Margaret Coel. The book is a collection of stories about Sam Speas and Sam Speas Jr. in chronological order from the mid 1880s through to the early 1960s.

Yes, if you want to read about the human side of railroading, give this a look.
