With the flying Rio Grande, it should be painted gray. I don't think red painted cars had their designations (ie "SLEEPER") on them.
By lettering it C&TS, I WAS the prototype and could do what I wanted! I was on an anti-D&RGW kick then. The D&RGW was evil. They wanted to do away with all this and scrap it. I saw no reason to put their name on anything.

Times change.
