AMEN, Bill - on all counts!

I like the color that Jeff Ellingson applied to #489 for us a couple of years ago, even though it seems to me to be just a touch too blue.  Perhaps a mix of 10% of Dirk's CRRM Foamer-Puke Green and 90% D&SNG Green would be closer to the D&RGW's original 'Dark Olive Green Boiler Jacket Enamel'.
