Don't know if you know any of the history of the #345, but I did find this:
"The #345 carried that "Classic" Baldwin look right up to its highly chronicled demise when she was crashed head-on into the #319 for the making of that dubious Hollywood "epic", "Rio Grande" in 1951."
I've seen a clip of that film, showing the "head-on"......being a steam fan, it's a sad thing to watch.
Not one, but two steam locomotives, sacrificed to the "Movie Gods"
Happy to see the model of #345 in the engine house, whole, and clean.
this is the one and only D&RGW C-25, in HOn3, from a Roundhouse kit...... doesn't look quite as good as your C-19

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
