True, #474 got around more in her early years, like most of the K-28's did. But it's true for it's later years, (late 1930's to early 1940's, when it was banished to the Crested Bute Branch, it never saw much action on the other lines. Maybe once or twice on the Marshall Pass to fill in as a helper but that is about it. I have a model of all the other K-28's and I can run any type of train I want with them for late 1930's to early 1940's operation, but I decided not to have a #474. To those few that like the #474, more power to them.
