Have to concur. The tanks on the D&S are spaced for the 1500 gallon tanks of the C-class engines and no water stops have been eliminated since the C's went out of service. 42, or any C, should have no problem making the run. They would just have to stop at all of them on the way up, which would mean that it would take longer to get to Silverton than with a higher capacity tendered locomotive. Can't run quite as fast with those 37" drivers either.
