Can anyone confirm the colors of the C&A Alco Pacifcs used on the 1924 edition of the Chicago - St. Louis "Alton Limited"? Dubin states the cars were maroon with red doors and red window posts, aluminum roofs and black underbodies. I seem to recall a color picture of the train that showed the loco with a maroon cab and tender, but this may have been a picture of the Rivarossi model which may not have been 100% accurate. Was there any red on the loco/tender? What color was the boiler jacket? What color were the domes? Gary Q
