I'm bouncing this question off you guys.  Any ideas?

I vaguely remember seeing photos of early  CB&Q switchers (possibly SW, 
SW1, NW1 or NW2) in solid black in an  old issue of Railway Age, I think in an 
EMC/EMD advertisement (at my  age, my memory could be faulty though). As I 
remember it was a full page ad  with photos of engines for several roads, 
most of which were painted black.  Does anyone else remember ever seeing photos 
of Q switchers in a sold black  scheme? If so, any idea which ones and when 
they were repainted to black and  gray? Where might I obtain prints?
