The RGS No. 36 project, a 4-4-0 we are planning to finish in 2017 for the Ridgway museum, will have a slightly enlarged tender. This should give us enough water in reserve to safely make the long climb from Antonito to Sublette. We even budgeted water to fight a grass fire with a small hose.

By the way, if you spot a 1926 Buick hubcap along the grade, that's from our RGS Motor No. 1.
