The Miniature Locomotive, September-October 1953
Thursday evening, June 18, 1953, Southern California Live Steamers were the guests of Dick Jackson of Beverly Hills and owner of the legendary Colorado Central Railroad. The 900, Dick's pride and joy, was clean and shining like new, the tender and caboose immaculate and resting in their customary place atop a tool cabinet. The shop as a whole is an outstanding example of fine management and exacting workmanship. The scene of unhurried production in 1-inch scale, R.R. equipment for the Colorado Central Railroad. Dick's shop is really more than just a work shop; it is a veritable museum of perfect miniatures built to one-inch scale.
Only those of us who have seen the R.R. station, water tank, rolling stock and R.R. accessories can appreciate the picture. When they are assembled together, the scene is a perfect replica of an American short line R.R. as remembered about the turn of the century. His collection of railroad scenes, builder's plates, R.R. passes, coach lamps, marker lights, all beautifully restored to their original newness, are priceless as collector's items.
