Great Idea, Earl -
IMHO. I think The Friends (and the D&SNG) should do something like that with several, if not most, of the historic fleet - "DENVER & RIO GRANDE WESTERN" (with herald) on one side, and flying
"Rio Grande" on the other. That way the cars could be wyed to put either all "old" (pre-1940) or all "new" (post-1940) lettering on the sunny side of trains so that only the tenders & cab numbers would have to be re-painted appropriately for "early" or "late" Phraud-O-Phreights®.
