Does anybody know what sort of operating history the 486 had on the Grande. What was her reputation before she was stuffed and mounted at Royal Gorge. Also, what was her condition before she entered the D&S shops, and how much of her current hardware was hers to start with. Does she have the same type of front end as the rest of the 480's? Is there still a gag order on D&S employees? Surely you could answer some technical questions??????

P.S. Thanks to all who have brought the '86 and the '97 back to life.....
