Ute are the Indigenous people of the Ute tribe and culture among the Indigenous peoples of the Great Basin. The state of Utah is named after the Ute tribe.

In addition to their ancestral lands within Colorado and Utah, their historic hunting grounds extended into current-day Wyoming, Oklahoma, Arizona, and New Mexico.

Taking a small step forward into doing narrow gauge builds, here is my take of the Uintah Railway's Mallet. This is my first build of a narrow gauge locomotive and I will be building more narrow gauge stuff in the future.

Uintah Railway - 2-6-6-2T mallet type steam locomotive Nr. 50 (Baldwin Locomotive Works 59261 / 1926) by Historical Railway Images Via Flickr: In 1926 the Uintah Railway purchased an articulated locomotive, number 50, which was specifically designed to handle the extreme curvature and steep grades of Baxter Pass. The idea was that this new locomotive would do away with the need to change engines at Atchee and Wendella. The single articulated locomotive could move as many cars as two Shay locomotives from Rainbow to Atchee and made the trip in half the time After some initial modifications, this engine proved to be such a success that in 1928 the company purchased a sister locomotive, number 51. These were the only narrow gauge simple articulated locomotives sold for use in the United States en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uintah_Railway This locomotive was sold in 1940 to the Sumpter Valley Railway (SVR 250) 

I can’t believe this is American.

This is so freaking British looking.
