Not so fast there Jerry
. The good folks in Lake City might enjoy bringing their combine over to the C&TS for a visit (after restoration) just as the Friends arranged for your former caboose, RGS # 0400, to be brought over to Antonito for the RGS excursions this past fall thanks to Lindsey Ashby and the Friends restoration crews
Now here is a screen grab from the Hinsdale County Museum video that looks to me a lot like what an excursion with D&RGW #168 might look like
