Its been suggested that I paint Mr. Ross Rowland into the picture. Can I get confirmation that he is in the BLUE coveralls?

It is too difficult to tell since the image is very low resolution.  When Ross pulled throttle on C&O 614 he always wore blue coveralls, an engineer's hat and a red bandana.  He also sported red gloves in those years and used clips on his pants cuffs (similar to what cyclists use) probably to prevent them getting caught on something.  So, if your engineer figure has overalls that should pretty much cover it.  Some of my O scale steamers have Woodland Scenics engineer figures.  They are beautifully cast and painted though a bit pricey.  One is even cast with his left arm in position to grasp the throttle.  The attached images were from videos.  Keep in mind this was almost 10 years after he ran 2101.
