I think we are super fortunate history played out in the way that it did. If Knott's didn't buy the 464 from the D&RG it's likely it would have been scrapped or donated for static display. There are only two (2) remaining K-27s in the world. Both are operational and kept in excellent condition and are good fits on the railroads for which the operate.

And there's never anything wrong with asking a 'what-if' question. I assure you if the question is on your mind, it's likely on thousands of others. Only a few are brave enough to ask it for the rest of us.
