Durango
& Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad |
The following photos
were taken during our family vacation to Colorado in July 2006.
Notice how cloudy and rainy it was during our summertime visit,
which goes to show that when in the Rockies, always expect the unexpected!
The Durango & Silverton NGRR is a first-rate organization, and
if you are ever in the area, I highly recommend taking a trip on
it! We rode in the Silver Vista excursion car, which features a
glass roof & side walls, giving a superb view all around. |

State Specialties was created in 1999 to offer quality resin accessories,
replacement parts and conversion kits, suitable for many 1/25-scale
plastic model kits. SSS specializes in accessories and parts
for plastic model pickup, SUV, 4x4, and heavy truck & trailer
kits. 1/32-scale and 1/35-scale parts and accessories will
be available in the future for model truck kits, such as the 1/32
Monogram Snap-Tite and ERTL snap-together kits, as well as 1/35-scale
Revell, Italeri, AFV Club, Trumpeter, Airfix, Heller, Tamiya, and
other military model truck kits. Some of these smaller scale
model kits are quite well detailed, and a wide variety of photo-etched,
resin, and other accessories are widely available for most of these
military truck model kits. What's even more exciting is the line
of 1/24th & 1/25th-scale military model kits and conversions
we are in the early stages of developing, to nicely compliment your
ERTL, AMT, Italeri, Revell, and other brands of truck models.
Silver State Specialties is working on resin accessories and complete
kits for G- gauge outdoor garden railway trains ("Large Scale")
in 1/24th-scale. Some patterns have been completed, and many more
are under construction. These kits and accessories will include
complete Beyer-Garratt style of locomotives and Narrow Gauge ore
hopper cars, as well as 24-inch & 30-inch gauge industrial equipment
in this same scale.
SSS also has master patterns partially completed for many 1/16-scale
model truck accessories and conversion kits, mainly for the Monogram-Revell
1/16-scale model truck kits. Some projected accessories for
these 1/16-scale kits are front drive axles, different wheels and
tires, air cleaner accessories, pusher and tag axles, oil filters
and engine accessories, and possibly different engines. Cab
& hood conversion kits remain a possibility for these monsters
as well, but are still years away from being offered as there are
more pressing projects to push forward with first. But someday
they should be available!
Thank you for your continued support!
