That's more Willie's style, Rich -
I much prefer histörically correct paint schemes, such as the tasteful DARK Olive Green with which #491's boiler jacket is currently enhanced. Note also that NEITHER 491's cab NOR her tender has been disgraced with gaudy "Circus Colors", such as those about which one of our former NGDF colleagues would surely have complained.
