[SEL] Engine colors

[Bill Dickerson]

My Chapman 2 was black, the 7 appears to have been black, or at least under
the brass tag it's a totally dark black looking colour.

Hi George,

Some Chapman and Ontario Wind engines were painted greeny beige colour. I
was once told that certain Mogul engines were painted a blue colour. I had
heard that engines purchased for our Ministry of Transport had to be painted
red.
