The smokebox fronts and stacks of Santa Fe steam locomotives were painted "Tarpon Gray" throughout the 20th century. Floquil "Gunmetal" can be used for this color. Other moders use a medium-light metalic gray. You will find some photos of Santa Fe steam engines with silver or black smokebox fronts, but these are non-standard. Also, unless it was an engine that had just come off a run or was in a deadline, Santa Fe steam locomotives were generally clean. I wi***he BLI 3751 class 4-8-4 was available in N scale. There was a lot of mostly favorable comment (except for DCC bugs) in the ATSF Yahoo group. <br /> Stephanie Stout
