Rolling Stock of the Blackhawk and Central City

The B&CC rolling stock has some interesting points: link and pin couplers, arch bar trucks, basic Westinghouse brakes (they were in existence in 1870), and radial roof house cars, just to name a few. After some thought and an initial transportation plan, I decided that I would aim for sixteen cars - three flats, two gondolas, six house cars, two combines, two cabooses and an excursion gondola. As serendipity would have it, this mix turns out to be very close to what the Colorado Central actually had when it began operations.

In addition, all of the rolling stock was constructed in the railroad's shop on top of surplus USMRR 30" flat cars. This would allow me to build all of the cars on the same base, simplifying the build process.
