Huh? What D&S engine??
Last time I saw #483, in 2005, she was still in Chama. The Friends have set up a separate fund for money being donated to restore #483, as she was the first engine used by the C&TS in the early 1970's, and pulled the first C&TS train from Antonito into Chama on Labor Day Weekend, 1970.
Please see [www.drgw483.net].

p.s. As noted in someone else's post several weeks ago, a large number of parts from #483 were unfortunately sent along with #482 when the latter was sold to the D&SNG a few years ago.
