Actually, Jeff -

It is a little too bright a green for me.  I'm more a fan of D&RGW's "Moffat Green", which is less shiney and a bit more olive.
For an example of what I consider pretty much the perfect green – plus it's been applied to a Steam Loco, not a diseasel –
see the second photo on [ngdiscussion.net].

OTOH, since we're talking about locos that never served the Loop in its C&S days, I'll submit the following Greenie for consideration:


And I might as well confess that I've always been green with envy at your ability to attract the finest in firemen firepersons:
