K-27 #455

The #455 is a K-27 Class Mikado locomotive built in 1903 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philidelphia, PA. The K-27's were affectionately referred to as 'Mudhens' due to their unfortunate tendancy to derail when they first went into service. The #455 started its service with the D&RGW RR. And for all of her life she ran the narrow gauge lines in Southwestern Colorado. In 1939 the Rio Grande Southern purchased the #455 from the Denver & Rio Grande Western. In November of 1943 The #455 suffered a complete brake failure while heading north down from Dallas Divide. She had a full load of frieght in tow, and it didn't take long for the train to derail while rounding a curve. The #455's cab was completely destroyed. It took four years for the RGS to rebuild the #455. But, with a new cab and tender from standard gauge D&RGW C-40 loco #933 the #455 returned to service on the RGS in 1947. The #455 was scrapped in 1953.

This model represents the #455 in RGS livery as she was prior to the wreck of 1943.
