Paint scheme and decals for a 4-4-0
As mentioned in the Introduction, I am planning to paint the loco green in a scheme inspired by the William Mason as it exists today. However, I think the tender lettering will be a little bit fancier. I am thinking that I will have budgundy letters with gold outlines. I am still waiting to hear back from Jeff if that is possible or not.
I have contracted with Shawmut Car Shops to do the decal work. I decided that this locomotive will not be lettered for the Millersvillanova Railroad, but for a yet unnamed railroad who's initials are "G.R." thus the lettering on the tender will read "G.R.R.R" which is fitting seeing as this loco is being named after a dog. Jeff is also going to take a photo I sent of Lucia and make it in to a decal for the headlight.
I am soliciting ideas for what "G.R." could stand for. Have to make a poll, I guess.
I have done a quick edit for paint schemes. See below:
1:

2: That'd be a Russia Iron boiler, but I couldn't get the colors just right...

3: Similar to #1, but with red wheels.

4: Similar to #1, but with green rimmed drivers and black counterweights

Update!
Due to the overwhelming responses on the Poll I posted about these schemes, I reworked the second one. Upon further review, I think the black wheels have pinstriping already on them. As such, I think it would be wise to leave them alone and focus on painting the boiler, cab, and tender tank. I also changed the lettering on the tender to all gold, instead of burgundy with gold outlining.
Here's a revised scheme that is a little more subdued:
