James, I have done a lot of research on the M&StL, so I will check and see if I can find a photo of #626.  But as far as I know, those 2-8-2s were just black with white striping and lettering.  Some or all of them were modernized with skirting under the running boards and over the air pumps, and this was painted with a wide horizontal white stripe.  Another stripe was added to the tender.  This was seen as a move toward streamlining without going all the way.  But #620 and #624 were very unique with the application of shiny stainless steel jacketing on the boilers, smokeboxes, cylinders, and running board skirts.  It would be interesting to see what they looked like in color on a sunny day.
