Since Fred took it upon himself to answer the question directed to me, you
may think you have the complete answer.  But that would be incorrect.

The PTM Library has a large number of Charlie Dengler's negatives.  We also
have books (3" binders) filled with contact prints of CJD photos for which
the negatives are not in the collection.  And unfortunately, they're not all
good prints.  Charlie's skies always seem to need extra burning-in.

Charlie kept an envelope for each car he photographed.  If he took a picture
that he liked better than one he already had, he often sold the negative for
first one, crossed it out on the envelope and added the new one.  There are
many, many entries like that.  And he sold a LOT of prints and negatives.

So we certainly do not have "The Compleat Works of Charles J. Dengler," by
any means.  I do not specifically recall any such car for the Royal
Crusaders.  Did Dennis's friend specify a year or an era?

A question to Ed Lybarger.  Charles Dengler photoraphed many of the
special paint jobs on the #22 line.  Does PTM have his negatives?
