Re: C&S 4319 lettering question

Jason,
Three photos:
1. 4319 with D&RGW cars on temporary storage spur downgrade from Central City depot. Taken August 23, 1976 from the train. Shows car in the later 'button' herald paint scheme, but without the 'button' herald. This suggests the car was repainted some time between the time it was donated by the C&S and 1976.
2. April 27, 1986. The entire train donated by the C&S appears to have had some cosmetic work done since 1976. The Colorado Central tourist railroad was gone, and the equipment had all moved to the Georgetown Loop.
3. April 27, 1986. Side view of 4319, showing the repaint job with the large block lettering.
Good luck, and keep up the good work at Como.
