D&RG Class 70

The D&RG Class 70, sometimes known as the Class 70 for short, is a 2-8-0 locomotive. It was part of the original roster of locomotives.
The D&RG class 70 was an enlargement of the previous Class 60 type consolidation, with a larger boiler, larger cylinders, and drivers. Due to their high tractive effort, some were re-gauged for the standard-gauge portion of the Rio Grande, though they eventually returned to the narrow gauge in 1900. In 1923, the Rio Grande did a full overhaul of its system, and changed the method of identifying locomotives. The Class 70s were then designated as C-19s, and were modernized during this period with new systems and boilers. A few C-19s were leased to the the Colorado & Southern. One notable accident occurred in Kenosha Pass with C-19 #346. Other locomotives were leased to the Rio Grande Southern, though some locomotives did not match the 19k tractive effort of the C-19s, and were labeled as C-18s, or C-17s. A few Class 70s survive in preservation, though none in their original Class 70 configuration. These are D&RGW #340 and RGS #41, at Knott's Berry Farm, and #346, which is located currently at the Colorado Railroad Museum. In Railroads Online, the Class 70 has brakes, which the original locomotives did not have as built.Railroads Online Official In-Game Wiki
Modeling the Prototype
The real Class 70s were all pretty stock standard, but it is possible to do mock-ups of the Class 56 as they were very similar (visually.)
