Jerry thanks as always, glad to hear the 480 should be up by 2nd September when I'm there to ride then behind the 473 or 480 if the fire season doesn't let the 482 or 481 out of the house. I'll miss the coal smoke but the engines do look better without stack screens or bear traps. I kind of like the 473, had her the most often on my morning trips to Silverton at 7:30am on 115 San Juan Express, wish we didn't have to meet the Railbus those days.
Looking forward to buying personally autographed copies of all the books you've got ready.
cheers
