. . . Except when they are intended to NOT be ALL black - see [ngdiscussion.net] (with #41 behind).
See also B&O's blue Pacifics, Southern's green-jacketed 4-6-2's and even more beautiful (IMHO) 4-8-2's,
and of course S.P.'s fabulous Daylight 4-8-4's.

p.s. I'm pretty sure that Dan Markoff would NOT be happy if you attacked E&P #4 with black paint . . .
