Quite sure I remember this unit in black dress, Rob. How long has it been painted orange?
Good question. I found a picture of it painted black in 2001. I learned something, I’ve always known it in orange. I see they also removed the unique spark arrestor.
Sure looked black (in photo) back then however, I was told by someone knowledgeable in loco matters as follows: Broer bought and had it repainted by Altoona – they apparently offered to use their “executive” green colour (almost black) for no extra charge, so he said Yes!
