Reply to "Dave GS-5 question bearing types"

Here is what I come up with, after a 3 minute search:

Photo Album Series 4 - p. 13 - GS-1 #4408 in white or silver tires.  Granted it is only two months after her build date, but she appears to be under steam.

And p. 32 - GS-3 # 4428 ten months after build date - white or silver tires.

Hot is correct, though - most have black tires.  I can find photos of Decks in service, dirty, with white tires, and pretty sure I can find several 0-6-0s in really decked out paint and silver tires.

but if you like black tires it is trivially easy to convert.  Use one of those Testors marking paint pens, invert the model, run the drivers and touch the rims.  Works the other direction too - all my UP steam gets silver tires using the same trick.  Even easier than moving the whistle.
