RGS Goose #1 CAD Drawing Set
Designed by Jim O'Connor, drawings by Laurence Johnson, castings by Jerry Braun and Arrow Aluminum.
Business was terrible during the depression for the Rio Grande Southern and there was not enough freight or passengers to justify running the high maintenance steamers on the line on a daily bases. A rail truck built from a Buick was the answer. The $800 "Goose" paid for itself in less than a month.
The original RGS Goose #1 was scrapped years ago but you can build your own goose (7.25 or 7.5" gauge) to run on the days you can't run your larger engine. Or take your "easy-to-transport" electric goose to neighboring tracks (requires two 12 volt deep cycle batteries).
