In the fall of 2007, GLACIER PARK MODELS introduced the most remarkable S.P. "C-8" and "C-9" Class 2-8-0's ever to grace the 1/4" Scale rails ! A limited production run of the most common pieces of motive power to ply the Espee's rails, these models were Hand Crafted in Lifetime Brass for the astute Collector / Operator, and were an immediate sellout. There were FOUR DISTINCT VERSIONS. Each constructed by South Korea's Premier Builder of Brass Models, Boo-Rim Precision, of course. This page chronicles one of these fine models. You owe it to yourself to have a look at it. Talk about a beauty ! We're Glacier Park Models, P.O. Box 244, Ukiah, California, 95482.

"C8" Class Loco 2698 Circa 1948, Late version with Class 100 C-3 tender. Our Catalog Number GPM-2698.2

For sheer numbers represented on the roster at any one time, the "C" Class Consolidations reigned supreme. The "Pacific Lines" had 441 of this class with many surviving up until the end of steam operations.

They could be found hauling peddler freights, in helper service on the Espee's many serious mountain passes, and oftentimes as "regulars" in the switching service pool.

As you may imagine, these "yeoman duty" locomotives were high on our list of personal favorites. Not only because of their great proportions. But also because they don't look out of place on the type of layout most guys can afford the space for in a home environment.

Never before produced with the level of detail and accuracy you have come to expect from Glacier Park Models, it only follws that these models were an immediate sellout.

With detailing only dreamed about a few years ago, these models will take their place amongst their new owners most prized posessions !
