Hi guys, How clean, or dirty, were the standard run of the mill loco's operating on the narrow guage Rio Grande. I have a lot of old shots from the internet and my screen saver shows a C16 backing down a string of gons at a mine and the loco looks very clean. Was there regulations about washing the engines down or was it if and when? Lots of corrosive muck shoots out of an engines stack so was this washed off when they took on water or..................? I'm asking this because I want to 'weather' another couple of locos but Gail likes them as they are, so do I give them a slight 'wash' to grime them up a bit or would it be dust and grime hanging off every rivet. I suspect Gail will win this one but I might just manage to grime the black loco's up without her really noticing! Cheers, Kim [tup]
