Thanks Don for the kind words,
Still waiting for printed copies here in Durango. In lieu of $$$, I asked the magazine to send a box full for all the D&S staff who worked on 476. Two other D&RGW locomotives are being rebuilt, T12 168, and K37 493. I am photographing the rebuilding of both. Railfan & Railroad has indicated they do not like to do many locomotive rebuilding articles, but another well known magazine wants to document the rebuilding of 493 and I am working with another author do a softcover book on T12 168. 2019 will see two more D&RGW locomotives in operation and I will shoot as many photos as I can of the process.
