It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! While I was in Colorado this summer I was able to see this beautiful model at the Colorado Railroad Museum. This is a model of Union Pacific locomotive 844. It is a very accurate model and was built by Herbert Votaw between 1958 and 1961 and required 1,848 hours of work and was the 3rd locomotive that he had built. The model consists of 6,720 pieces which were all handmade and is 116 inches long and about 17 inches high and about 11 inches wide. He had crawled all over the actual locomotive to collect information needed. It was really amazing to see.
