Hello,

I browse the

Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette
Plans, Drawings, and Construction Articles list

but can't find anything about caboose #24.

Hello, not sure but you might be able to get drawing of #24 from older
issues of the NG Gazette, they contain many drawings by Gary Caviglia.

Does anyone have information, drawings and or original photos of the
V&T caboose #24 ?

Yours faithfully,
M.K.

The Official Ground Breaking Ceremony for the Overman Pit
(reconstruction of the V&T) will be held at the Gold Hill Depot on
April 6, 2005 at 2 PM.

The contract has been awarded to Granite Construction to fill in the
Pit, construction is expected to begin in April.  At the last
Commission meeting it was ordered to obtain all the property needed
to complete to line into Carson City and not wait until "phase I"
was completed as was the intent by Carson City's last mayor (the
Commission Chairman)who is no longer on the Commission.

A steam locomotive has also been purchased to run on the completed
line.

We're on our way!

I presume you are on good terms with the folks at the museum. When
Kyle was there they had files on a number of the locomotives (not
sure if that goes beyond engines in their collection, but I imagine
it did). The main museum also has photos.

Does anyone have information and or original photos of the V&T Motor
Cars?

I am trying to write a book on the V&T Locomotives and motive power
as a fund raising project for the Northern Nevada Railway Foundation
(www.steamtrain.org) and need any help I can get.

Those offering info I use will get credit for such.

We have the dates and subject for next years Symposium.

34th Annual V&T Railroad History Symposium

Subject: Milestones on the Railroad: The Years of Western Railroading

Will also be celebrating the Nevada State Railroad Museum's 25th
year.

Date of the Symposium are:  October 21 thru 23, 2005

Just wondering, are any of you planing on attending this year's
Symposium?

Does anyone know where and when she was scrapped in Mexico?  Also
any facts about her life in Mexico would be helpful.

Make plans now to attend the annual V&T Symposium.  Find out more at

Do you think there would be interest in (i.e. a market for) a
reprint of Karl Koenig's book "Virginia & Truckee Locomotives" with
updates as to the current disposition of the locomotives.

See Photo.  This carved wooden Locomotive is being raffled off by
the Northern Nevada Railway foundation. If interested you can find
out more about it on their web site.  www.steamtrain.org

The three trucks carring the bridge sections left Las Vegas Friday
morning, they stopped in Henderson for the night and came the rest
of the way into Carson City Saturday morning.  Bragg Crane Service
unloaded them this morning.  I will post pictures of the unloading
as soon as I can.

The bridge is still in Las Vega.  the Nevada Highway patrol is going
to escort it to Carson City.  We are waiting for them to sehedule
the move.

Due to the rising cost of printing the Northern Nevada Railway
Foundation will have to start requesting a $20 subscription fee for
the quarterly publication The V & T Gazette.  This subscription fee
will allow us to continue providing you with information on the V &
T of the past and the continuing efforts to complete the
construction down to Carson City.  It will also allow us to improve
the publication.

The foundations executive director has returned from Las Vegas.  All
the spans of the bridge should be on the trucks, painted and ready
to be on their way to Carson City, via hwy 95 & 50 by late this week
or next.  Will keep you updated on their progress.  In the mean
time, sometime next week pictures of the bridge spans and their
removal from I-15 in Las Vegas should be posted on the Foundations
web site: www.steamtrain.org.

Thanx so much Linda for the lastest updates on the new Hwy 50
bridge.  If you are able to snap a few photos upon it's arrival,
please post them.
Regards,
Rick

As of today, the bridge will be taken down on 3/14-17.  There is a
good chance it will be moved up here on the 18-19th

In the next couple of weeks the former UP bridge (all 3 spans) from
I-15 in Las Vegas will be transported to Carson City.  It will be
stored on property next to Highway 50 East of town.  It will
eventually span Highway 50 in the Moundhouse area.  Will send post
when the date is confirmed.

much of the ho equipment has not changed much, except that IHC now
makes the V&T engines. if you look in the recent Narrow Gauge short
Line & Gazette the mogul men (231)845-7480 or vandtrr@... is
taking resevations for moguls 4,5,6,8(series1869-1870) and engines
10,13,14 (series 1871-1872) as delivered by Baldwin to V&T delivery
is mid 2003 for 75 models total anticipated price around $495. also
Beaver creek awhile back made the engine 25 in brass it was a nice
model. I am sure you are familar with the PFM series of the Genoa.

Hi, everyone, glad I found this site. long time V&T fan.

Started back into the hobby after 35 years. Is there anyway to get
information on some of the V&T model equipment and locomotives that
have been produced during the last 20 or so years. I've found three
of the 4-4-0 and one 2-6-0. Any help would be appreciated.
