A great source of information is the Rio Grande Modeling & Historical Society's Prospector Magazine. I have written articles on D&S flanger operations, a history of D&RGW flangers, and flanger trains on the C&TS. Also wrote articles on K-36 number 486 and K-28 number 473, those issues answered most of Greg's questions. Back issues are available from the RGMHS wet site.
The Flanger is OF. The D&S purchased it from the scrapper at Chama in 1981. It was last used in 2017.
Rio Grande Southern #422.
