DSP&P ART GALLERY       More DSP&P at my Railway Pages Index

Various artists have portrayed the DSP&P in glorious colour. Some are based on black and white photographs with a little artixtic license. Others are less realistic but give an impression of the 1879 to 1889 era.

The images here are from various websites and are for my personal use. They have been reduced in size to protect the artists' original materials.

The four illustrations above are renderings by Jim Wilke, a well known locomotive historian, showing the ornate striping and lettering on early DSP&P Mason Bogies.

Most paintings show the DSP&P after the re-numbering of 1885. The CAD drawing above is by William Gould showing DSP&P 2-6-6T Mason Bogie #6 "Tenmile".

"I am a life-long model railroader and have modeled in O27, HO, HOn3, and N Scales. Failing eyesight brought me to G Scale. My father started me in model railroading as a tiny tot in 1944 - he scratch built his first locomotive in 1940, the year I was born, and I still have this loco on my mantle-piece. I am a Life Member (#517) of NMRA, a member of the Rocky Mountain Garden Railroaders (Calgary, Alberta), and have toured a lot of model railways, railway shows, and garden railways. I have never seen a model railway I didn’t like. An extensive library of railway magazines and books, covering topics that appeal to me, sit behind my office desk, ready to be put to use at a moments notice. I hope these pages can communicate to you some of my accumulated experience, my successes and failures, and my love of model railways."
