According to the stencil drawings I have, G3efghj and standard lettering
from 1927, indicate that passenger locos get pinstripes and gold leaf;
freight get no pinstripes and imitation gold. Window frames and sashes
painted tuscan red. The G3 drawing indicate that blocks of locomotiveswere
painted for freight or passenger service. I could post those numbers ifgold
you're interested. Drawings for Royal Hudsons and T1bc's indicate that
leaf was used.some

As I recall from my readings, they did this because gold leaf became too
expensive. I would be inclined to use gold leaf on passenger
post-1936. Maybe
that depends on whether or not you are a rivet counter.

The G3g's #2351-2365 & 2400-2417,the G3h's, and the P2g-k series were

It would be good to have the repaints documented as well as
haven't seen anyone attempt it yet. Mr. Lavallee's book does offer
http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/re-paint information, but it is focused on the tuscan redpanels. he says
the subject of paitn on steam locomotives would justify afairly large book
of its own.
