Ken,
Thank you.  I’ll see about getting a copy of the Arrow you mentioned.  The response is much appreciated.

He took color samples off the still existing depot on the former 12-Pole line at Dingess. Those samples were a dark red-brown trim, cream or pale yellow body and the same dark red-brown roof. No company documentation has surfaced, so far, to give us details of exact color.

I need to know, though, if the roof colors should be natural metal or if the N&W was coating or painting them?
