You are Correct Craig. I knew I had forgotten something. D&RGW Stockcar #5743 is in Como and was set to be rebuilt and made operational this summer, but COVID-19 has delayed that plan a little. However, it is still the plan to restore it to operation. The other car D&RGW #5773 is destine to become a parts source.
