Two tone finishes were found on many RR and B cars, my own car is sand over sable, but when new in 1953 was "Dockers tan, ref 4820, refinished black in 1954 and refinished sand over sable in 1958." The first R-type with a two-tone finish was B8 LRT, built in September 1952, and velvet green over shell grey. How do we know that this is an S2, there is no visible difference? -- Last edit: 2014-10-22 21:14:40
