The El Paso & Southwest Model Railroad is actually a movie set. Stories of steam railroads in early 1900s in New Mexico can be video taped and offered to a You Tube audience. The stories are researched for accuracy and models represent structures that existed in New Mexico.
My people, i am 6ft3 blue eyed and cauasian as it comes but my great grandmother is 100% APACHE. i went to a yogaish meeting place with my wife years ago and a lady walked in that was APACHE. I could have immediately feel a connection it was very bizzare. We hit it off to the point it was clearly making my wife uncomfortable but it wasnt that type of attraction. My wife just percieved it that way because she didnt understand it. Anyways she started burning something and saying words and chanting and i felt this heavy heavy pressure come down on me. I could not hardly breathe after a few minutes and had to leave the room. Definetly an experience i will never forget. The Apache lady just kind of looked at me later in the lobby not in a crazy way just looked.

While visiting my folks in Roswell in 1986, they piled us into their truck camper and off we went, to LIncoln, Carrizozo, Tularosa, the Malpais, White River, and White Sands. Then we drove over the mountain to Cloudcroft. I remember seeing a dilapidated wooden railroad trestle near Cloudcroft. Nice to see that you have done a fine reproduction on your railroad model.
David, I came across your video while attempting to do some research on the photo purported to be a photo of Billy the Kid and members of the Regulators. The photo is commonly described as the "Croquet Photo" because it seems to show the figures of the Regulators and some spectators, playing croquet! You may have seen the documentary by National Geographic describing the finding of the tintype photo by a collector 3 or 4 years back. In doing some research, I found an article in "True West Magazine" which attempts to authenticate the photo by writers of the magazine. Everyone without exception, said that the photo could not be Billy and the Regulators mainly due to a lack of provenance. The producer of the National Geographic documentary disputed the writers criticisms and explained that his researchers indeed determined that there is lots of provenance for the photo and the biggest bit of evidence was that the photo was taken on the ranch of John Tunstall on the Felix River which you have described in your video. He also said that the original structure in the photo was an old school house which had been replaced by a newer structure and that pieces of the original were scattered under the foundations of the new school. He also went on to describe the trees as White Oaks which had lost their leaves prematurely due to a drought which he verified occurred in 1876. He did further research and said that the get together was a wedding party for Charlie Bowdre and his wife Manuela which he verified occurred at the approximate time of the photo. I brough this to your attention because you obviously a very familiar with the locations that i described above. In case you want to read the article from True West Magazine, it is from Oct. 14, 2015 and is entitled "Billy the Kid Experts Weight in on the Croquet Photo". Thanks for taking time to read my response.
I lived in Alamogordo when I was stationed at Holloman Air Force Base and we often rode our bicycles up to Cloudcroft then on through the Mescalero Apache reservation and back down to the Mesa returning via La Luz. I organized bicycle races at Sunspot and inside the foothills of Alamogordo up to the science center. As a former model railroader I really appreciated your dioramas and of the hard work you have done building this fantastic historical triumph
Mescalero is a beautiful place, as a young man I lived on the reservation. I am a Apache from another reservation north and my homeland is beautiful . I respect the homelands n pray for my apache people to live in harmony and to continue to prosper....ehaadin
@@TheLincolncountyMexican hello. I am also Mescalero Apache from my dads side , they were from the chihuahua desert of Mexico. My grandpa was a Chief , I didn’t know him but I seen his war bonnet . I’m sorry i have to go to sleep, getting up early
I love my culture of being Apache and Eskimo indian and I have Spanish and American in me as well. Those types of true indians from the Tribes are so Beautiful 💕
My Grandpa was a logger that loaded the trains. He was a WWII vet, and always wanted to return the train to Cloudcroft like the Cumbres Tultec. It’s a dream I still share, even though I know it’s not feasible. I would at least love to see a railroad or static display in my home town!
Love this! I grew up in Cloudcroft and have always love the history of the CCRR. I read the book when I was a kid, and we used to walk the old bed looking for spikes. Found a few. I would love to see this layout in person!!!
I am seeking my roots. My mother was so ashamed of her people that it wasn't until recently she told me I was Mescalero Apache...I grew up thinking I was mexican! I feel robbed of my heritage how dare she!
@@13KimberlyJo Mexico does awknowledge the Apache, and all their sisters and brothers who were taken with the land, they seem to have a soft and proud heart for the Apache!
