... on the Far Side of the Hill!

It's not exactly the right green - more appropriate for boiler jackets than for coaches -
but two gallons of green paint left over from the May, 2010, beautification of #489 were
donated to The Friends last June by a certain notorious curmudgeon. This is THE EXACT
SAME PAINT used by Jeff Ellingson of the D&SNG Museum to paint the the D&S coaches
in 2010, and said notorious curmudgeon would not object in any way whatsoever if some of
this paint were applied to ex-D&RGW coach #256 subsequent to its restoration by The Friends.
