Not NO, but HELL NO!

As there have been no authentic photos of narrow gauge engines with green boilers prior to the late 40s, there are no authentic photos of narrow gauge engines with the tri-color herald. There are a couple of photos in Dennis O'Berry's Mudhen book that claim to show the tri-color herald, they are clearly paste up as the heralds do not match shadows and other lighting of the original.
