  Harold, 

 I have to admit that when the gray paint faded(which didn't take long)
it did look rather shabby. I have seen photos of freshly painted cars
in the gray scheme. That's why I ordered a SPTC car in the gray.
I have a photo from John Bromley's collection of a freshly painted\
Gray#2 1711 on the Drake line outbound at Ft. Couch with the sign
already changed to LIBRARY. I loved this photo so much that I had the
identical SPTC car ordered with the same sign.
 Perhaps I should have been more detailed and said the freshly painted
gray#2 1700s looked awesome to me.
 However, I relate mostly to the mod era schemes when you were there
Harold as that's what I remembered most when I resided in
Mt. Lebanon from 1962-1981. And may I say I loved them!
