    Does anyone have any color photographs or drawings of 1500 class semi-streamlined locomotives?

    All I have are black and white, and I would like to know the color scheme.

    Thanks,

    Paul Moore

    Black, stainless steel trim band, edged with red stripes.

    Thanks, Don.

    Since the stainless band is edged with red, I would guess the FRISCO on the skirt and the number on the tender side are red, also.

    Are the stripes on the domes and number on the sand dome dulux?

    Thanks,

    Paul Moore

    This is not a 4-8-2 1500, but this will give you a general idea of a Frisco locomotive with the stainless steel trim and paint scheme.

    Okay, more specifically.

    Stainless skirt, band on tender. Red striping edging the skirt and edged in gold. Red stripes on domes, edged in gold. In this photograph it appears the lettering on the skirt and tender are red; however, I believe them to be black.

    The cab roof between rain gutters are Signal Red.

    Don,

    I had never really noticed that the red cab roof on these locomotives was just between the gutters.

    I thoroughly enjoy learning the little details like these.

    Best Regards,

    Did that cab roof red paint have any waterproof or antirust properties or was it purely decorative?

    Thanks, Tom G.

    In my opinion, I think it is Red Oxide primer type paint.

    Lee Buffington insisted it was signal red. I think it depended upon the whim of the roundhouse foreman in some instances. You would be correct either way.

    The paint in the photograph looks primer flat to me.
