Thank you for the compliment Tony. Remember, you and Roy are the ones that got me srtarted on DBGs.
Lately we have been picking the worst ones we could find, cuz they were in most need of work. The one we are working on now had been rolled, and we had to go to Chama and remove almost all of one side just so the RR could move it to Antonito for us to work on. This one was so bad that we even had to replace two coupler cheek plates, and make a weld repair on a third. On the last one we did we even had to make a new brake air line.
