i think we're do for a hint. Its been 10 days and no one has made a guess.
guess the LOCO game...
- Thread starter drrt4
- Start date
San Luis Valley Southern (Southern San Luis Valley) D-500.
scratchbuilt diesel switcher.
International Harvester diesel engine.
Built in 1955.
Built on a steam tender frame.
original engine: D&RGW C-28 class--constructed in 1888.
My mind wants to say it was built on the old No. 103, nee D&RG 592/D&RGW 657--built 1890.
It still exists.
Don't know who owns it, but it's stored at Blanca, on home rails.

For the record, i had to comb through every Colorado Railroad/D&RGW book/website i have to figure that out:hehe:
So, without further ado...

D&RGW class L-105 #3708
4-6-6-4 'Challenger' wheel arrangement
Denver & Rio Grande Western was her owner
She was scrapped in February 1956
This was taken before the year 1942 because she has the sun burst pattern and not the stripes scheme she received. I guess World War 2 led to the scheme change.
