Struggling with historic authenticity

January 21, 2020 01:30PM avatar
I like the OY in red with the big OY on the tender, the way it was painted in 1991 and I chased it twice that way. It just looks nice to me. I am surprised at myself because I am usually really into doing it how the Rio Grande did it in the 60's, when I saw it. And the OY was gray then. Also, from what I am learning, in DRGW days it never had the big OY, always the smaller D&RGW and OY when in both red and gray. And of course this ignores the the C&TS marks versus D&RGW, although that is not biggie with me; I can understand why the C&TS wants their marks on a machine that attracts so much press when it runs, they deserve all the public recognition they can get. But I just like that 1991 paint scheme,
