Early N&W Power and Rolling Stock

[NW Mailing List]

Thanks for the leads on the books.

Browsing through the archives, I wonder how were the PA Class coaches
painted? Was Tuscan Red in use that early? Was the N&W lettering imitation
gold?

Also, curious as to early power's paint schemes. Seems most late 19th
century steam power was gaudy in nature, gold leafing, Russian Iron, etc. I
know some of these engines I linked weren't directly N&W to begin with, but
I wonder if they were as ornate as their western counterparts say in
California and Nevada?
