Louis-

By the time this car was built the color was mineral red.   Definitely not black.   Note the difference in the value of the black background on the herald and the carbody.

The G Gauge and O Scale Black cars are foobies.

Rupert - Perhaps, the idea that the Q had some box cars painted black in the early 1900s came from photographs taken at the time that showed some cars painted a very "dark"color. I've attached an image of such a box car 101417 built in 1907 by the Standard Steel Car Company of Butler, PA. I don't think this particular car is painted back, but could be a dark mineral red. Just an idea.... Granted, it's all but impossible to judge true paint colors from a black and white photograph. Best Regards - Louis
