D&RGW 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 as she was in September, 1930 when photographed by the legendary Otto C. Perry in the Alamosa, CO yards. She's all dressed up with the Russian Iron Green boiler jacket.
