But But But....
It has been stated that parts is parts!!!
Okay, joking aside, I dont want to see the only SG D&RG(W) engine sacrificed to the NG gods. We are in a state that what is left will not be increased. The Rio Grande is gone, and what is left is what we got. While 75 years ago, parts may have been parts, today it is status quo.
My opinion is either rebuild it to show or run, or leave it alone....
