Thanks for the photo, Linda -
And the reminder! As a former resident of Colorado Springs, and student at
General Palmer's own Colorado College, I visited #168 several times between
1959 and 1963, and feel privileged to contribute to her restoration!
As of about 10:45 PDT this morning, 'The Check Is In The Mail'. Now if another fifty or so NGDF'ers will join
me in contributing, we can "Get 'er Done!"

p.s. That looks like a standard gauge coach behind #168 in the photo you posted.
I presume it was taken in Alamosa - any idea when?
