I know I'm jumping on the followup messages late, I just wanted to note that Bob Bowland (former Idaho Springs mayor) mentioned that the restoration was just for the coach, though the train shed seems to be for both the engine and coach once the coach is returned to Idaho Springs from Silver Plume after its restoration. He didn't suggest the engine 60 was to receive any work at this time.
Has anyone else caught news about this anywhere? Unfortunately, while I emailed Bob for more info, I haven't heard back yet.
An encouraging note: Chris Lane on the DSP&P forum stated, "I know Bob personally, and he is really connected (former mayor). You can take this to the bank."
