Greg,
The last time I was there - about two years ago. The 478 was painted in Flying Rio Grande, Maybe even a Dog House. I can't remember because I was so pleased to see a pair of Marker Lamps on 478's front that it was hard to notice much else. 478 pulled the "Midnight Train" and we chased it off the hill.
Those Marker Lamps really made the show especially in the dark!
The D&S is not afraid to go "Retro" but they don't go there very often.
