36ng Colorado & Southern 9 Classic

Classic series: Error-free in TRS19, converted to Trainzmesh with PBR materials, but not significantly upgraded from original 2007 release. Rereleased with Creative Commons licensing.

Colorado & Southern 9 was originally built as Denver, South Park, and Pacific 72, an 1884 Cooke 2-6-0. In 1900, the C&S rebuilt seven of the Cooke 2-6-0s, numbers 4-10. The result was very different from the engine that rolled out of Cooke's shops 16 years earlier. Very few parts from the original engine were reused. Instead of the original 14x18 cylinders, the engines sported a new set of 15x18 cylinders. The frame was stretched between the middle and rear drivers, resulting in an even wheel spacing. The original straight boiler was replaced with a new wagon-top type, topped with smooth domes. Even the cab was replaced. The new engines were 6 tons heavier after the rebuild, and considerably more powerful. The rebuilt engines were classed B3C.

The B3Cs served on passenger and freight trains on the old South Park line until the line was scrapped. 9 was the engine to pull the final C&S narrow gauge passenger train. After the South Park lines were scrapped, she was sent to two World Fairs before being sent to the Deadwood Central for display. After many years at the Deadwood Central, she was acquired by the Colorado Historical Society, and stored at the Georgetown Loop Railroad. In 2005, 9 returned to operation, pulling passenger trains on the Georgetown Loop. *EDIT*: After this model's release, C&S 9 would operate on the Georgetown Loop railroad for one season. It has been on static display in Breckinridge, CO since 2007.

This model represents 9 as she looked when she pulled the last passenger train on the C&S narrow gauge lines in 1939.
