CT&S Lerro excursion, part 2 - D&RG #168 & #463 double header
Author: Harlock

With 315 down with boiler issues, Pete was inspired by a 1930s Harry Vollrath photo to repaint 168 overnight to represent her sister 167, double heading with a K-27 as in the picture.  To do this a temporary number plate was made, a pyle national headlight installed and the appropriate 1930s livery added to the tender.

Those things are tough to get right, notice there's still a couple Flying Rio Grande cars in the consist and those
plated end ties aren''t exactly period. But all in all, that's a really nice looking train and the weather looks excellent.
You've got some really nice shots and congrats on what looks like a great trip.
