And if you are going to letter them C&TS why not do one with the tri-color herald like Ernie did on the first engine....mayb that's what you are referring to Russ. One like that would be nice, and one or two Rio Grande would be nice. We have the 40's style I think on 463, unless it now has flying Rio Grande....don't recall that one. Anyway lots of options for historically correct D&RGW and C&TS. Probably good to have both in a historically accurate era spanning two railroads, but with the same engines!!
