This locomotive is out of production, and one remains in stock. Rocket Rewards applies to this price!

Road number 412 was a special item among the Crocodiles. This locomotive was built in 1925 and in 2005 – in conjunction with the anniversary "75 Years of the Glacier Express" was painted blue to go with the Alpine Classic cars of the RhB. In addition to the reference about this anniversary, the locomotive also had the company logos for the two model companies Bemo and LGB on it. Both companies had offered this special version of the locomotive as models. Unfortunately, it did not run in this paint scheme very long – as early as 2008 it was overtaken by gear damage, which led to it being stored and scrapped.

This is a model of the RhB class Ge 6/6 I electric locomotive, the legendary Crocodile. This is a finely detailed model heavily constructed of metal with many separately applied details. The locomotive has a special blue paint and lettering scheme for Era V, road number 412, as the locomotive looked from 2005 to 2008 in special train use. The locomotive is driven by two powerful motors on both trucks. The locomotive has an mfx/DCC decoder with many light and sound functions such as headlights, cab lighting, running sounds, a whistle that can be activated by reed switches, and much more. The running sounds also work in analog operation. The pantographs are powered by servomotors and can be raised and lowered in digital operation. The couplers can also be activated by remote control in digital operation. The locomotive has many fine details on the superstructures and running gear. The cabs have complete interior details, and the cab doors can be opened. 2 rail clearance devices without an opening for the LGB system coupler are included. They can be mounted on the locomotive after the servo motor powered coupler(s) have been removed at one or both ends.
The minimum radius for operation is 600 mm / 23-5/8".
Length over the buffers 60 cm / 23-5/8".

This locomotive is in a special version in the anniversary year 2021 in the blue paint scheme as it was in use and produced between 2005 and 2008 as a one-time series.

This is the story of the last railroad along Clear Creek until the demise of the narrow gauge operations of the Colorado & Southern west of Denver, Colorado in the spring of 1941.The formation of this railroad began on paper in 1865.

Most photographs are historical but a few are from more modern times.

Ice houses were a new concept when the country's railroads finally began to use them to replenish the ice necessary to keep their customers' perishable items from spoiling in transit. Railroads were reluctant users of refrigerated cars in the first place, but large shippers such as meat packers, breweries, and produce suppliers demanded they use this method to ship perishable goods.

In Colorado Ice Houses the author uses photographs, drawings and maps to skillfully explore this unique subject.

• Colorado Railroad Ice Houses, pp. 5–37
• List of Ice Houses, pp. 38–40
• Folio Sheets of Railroad Reefers (reefer car diagrams both standard and narrow gauge), pp. 41–43

Colorado Railroad Water Tanks is a historical tour of the water tanks of Colorado's steam railroad era. Steam locomotives required a large quantity of water to generate the required amount of steam for motive power.

Colorado railroads operated over six hundred tanks located along the approximately 6,000 miles of track. The six hundred tanks and their locations are listed in an index and documented with construction dates, sizes, water sources and pumping equipment, when the information is available.

The process and history of bringing water from its source to the locomotive's tender is explained and illustrated. Included are 289 pages with over 260 color and black & white photographs (about 95% B&W), maps and illustrations of tanks and water equipment! Drawings, illustrations, maps and photographs in digital form are also included on a CD.

Tanks that still remain are listed and located with GPS data for those wishing to visit these reminders of Colorado's railroad past.

This title is organized by year. A color map of each carrier's routes to Columbus are included and cover one full page. Some pages will have one large photograph, some two and others four photographs. The photographer went out in all weather conditions and there are some interesting snow scenes. Columbus was a good location to see some great railroad action.

Columbus, Ohio was an important intersection along the mainline routes of the PRR, NYC, N&W, C&O, and B&O. During the 15 year period 1964-1979, the five roads underwent a complete transformation that is wonderfully described in the color work of local photographer Paul Geiger.

The Dual streamer recovery system is a mechanism used to bring Comanche-3 rocket back to earth safely. Besides, this system ensures that the rocket recovers in one piece and is ready for future use.

The Comanche-3 Model Rocket is a magnificent piece of engineering. Moreover, it soars through the skies and reach great heights.  Its booster engines provide the necessary thrust to propel the rocket upward, while the dual streamer recovery system brings it back to earth in a controlled manner.

Here are some key features of Comanche-3 model rocket:

• Tumble recovery for the boosters. The tumble recovery system recovers the booster engines of the rocket, ensuring that they land safely on the ground without any damage.

• Straightforward assembly. It's easy to assemble this rocket. Thus, you can have it ready for lift-off in a day or so.

• Uses Estes standard model rocket engines. Comanche-3 Model Rocket requires three Estes standard model rocket engines to achieve liftoff and soar through the skies.
