M1 RPO Black Doors?

[NW Mailing List]

The M1's did not have black doors at any time (nor did any other N&W passenger cars). They did, however have black facings on either side of the doors and a black plate at the bottom. When N&W went from red to blue (1966) they stopped painting these areas black. There is some evidence that they may have stopped painting the facings black before that, but I don't have any timeline on that.

 Hello everyone, Micro-Trains recently released their model of a M1 RPO with black doors.  I'm wondering how long did the M1's retain their as-delivered black doors and did any make it to retirement with them?
