D&RGW K-27

Number 463 was one of the 15 class K-27 outside frame 2-8-2 locomotive delivered to Denver & Rio Grande in 1903.  Few years later, No. 463 (Engine No. 21788) was rebuilt with pistion valves located outboard of the cylinders and with Walschaert valve gear from its original Vauclain compounds.   A favorite of rail-fans and historians, number #463 was restored and is currently operating at Chama, New Mexico.

This superbly detailed model is completely constructed with brass and stainless steel. Pittman precision gearhead motor powers the eight drivers with steel bevel gears enclosed in a die cast metal gear box. The model is completed with museum quality paint finish and lettering.
