D&S RR Passenger CarThis is a model of the Prospector old-timer passenger car for the Durango & Silverton Railroad in the dark red paint scheme. The paint scheme and lettering are prototypical for Era VI. The doors can be opened, and the car has a complete interior. It also has metal wheelsets. Length 49 cm / 19-1/4.The Durango & Silverton Railroad is world famous and runs in the mountains of Colorado. This line was operated until the Seventies by the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad. It was then sold and it continued to be run as a pure tourist railroad. Although it is a narrow gauge railroad with a gauge of 3 feet (914 mm), the locomotives and cars do not need to shy away from a comparison with European standard gauge locomotives and cars. Trains with up to 10 of the famous yellow old-timer cars are the rule rather than the exception. These cars are also in dark red and dark green paint schemes chiefly for special services and historic trains. The dark red cars also have a name in in addition to the car number.A beautiful Durango & Silverton Railroad train can be modelled with the 20283 Mogul steam locomotive to go with the 36808 and 30261 cars.
