I knew what you posted I was talking about the idea of the green boiler jacket makes me directly think of the light green color but the dark color does look good!! I just keep thinking of the light color and it would look weird on a K-36 but 346 can pull of the look. Personally if I had to choose a color it would be black just because its a good color for a locomotive. If I had to choose another color it would be dark green.
