Shed light on this – image 1

I saw in a background picture in CTT, several ATSF cars and an A-B-B-A set...IN BLACK! No kidding, they had black bodies and the standard warbonnet paint. The cars had red and yellow stripes at the bottom, obviously to match the locos.I have never seen a black ATSF unit like those. Are they real, or something fictitious?------------------------------------------------------------"Don't look at the trombones. It only encourages them." -Strauss

The story I heard, was the "black bonnets" Were created by a company that misunderstood the ATSF colors. The BB's though, were produced and caught on (toy wise) recently.

Sometimes, in a black and white photo, silver CAN look black, or a very dark grey.
