Years ago, I had the opportunity to look at all of Dick Kindig's color slides (and copy some). They dated from 1936. He had slides of every existing D&RGW locomotive and not one narrow gauge engine with a green boiler in the lot until the late 40s when the Salida shops painted some for Rocky Club excursions. I have learned to never say "never," but color slides seem to be more accurate proof than b&w photos of engines with fresh paint on some parts and older paint on the rest.
