Carlos:
Not to start up the red vs. green coach paint argument again but what is the "C&TS" policy for paint this year? Also I was reading some where that the D&RGW regularly varnished both passenger cars and the tenders of locomotives to preserve the paint and lettering. I am wondering if varnish or a modern day equivalent has ever been used by the C&TS shop crews. If not perhaps it should be considered as it would go a long way in making the coaches look sharp and that is a good thing regardless of what color they are painted...
