Jeff,
I for one say, its your loco, if you did have plans to paint it black, do it. I am a fan of green boilers as some are here, so personally I like it especially since it is a historic running locomotive. However, if all the D&RG locos had green boiliers today, we would have the same argument the other way. Paint it how you like it, its your loco. But thanks for not painting it blue or red!!!
Absolutely Beautiful work, and please keep up with the pics and info. Also if you have any video to put on youtube....
