Re: Spreader OU Weight

Mark:
I wrote a long message and hit the backspace key. Instead of backspacing once, the web software deleted the entire message, so I hope I can remember all that I wrote.
The lettering seems to be the original D&RGW lettering. The C&TS lettering is a journal repack date rather than a repaint date. I am assuming that OU has been repainted sometime since 1971. I hope someone recorded the original D&RGW letter. If not, I shot 100+ photos of OU in 71 and 72 and probably got most of the lettering. I also have most of Bob Richardson's photos of it as he let me print them while working on the OA-OZ book. If the group doing the restoration wants to do it as it appeared on the D&RGW in the 60s, they will have ample photo evidence. They should repaint it that way as the current blade configuration dates from them.
