Kevin,
I think that turntable is from the C&S Roundhouse in Denver.
When the area was developed as an amusement park, the turntable was saved as an historical attraction. I believe it was removed after it was sold to Six Flags and donated to the C&TS.
It was long enough for the C&S's standard gauge 2-10-2's, so you can be sure it is an illusion if it looks too small for a 480.
I'm not sure what you mean by blowing the D&S out of the water if they put in that turntable. The 65' turntable in Durango has been doing nicely for a good many years, and I doubt they would envy the longer length.
Mike
