Jeff,

Thank you for the information on the paint found during the restoration. Tuscan was a widely used passenger car color around the turn of the century. LTR&T trains must have been a pleasant sight in contrast to the soot covered dark olive SP cars in Truckee. I have not yet seen a photograph of coach #4 with four lines of lettering as you describe, but I will keep an eye out. As far as other surviving equipment goes, Combine #24 is in the collection of the Nevada State Railroad Museum.
