I'm convinced enough by Mike Allison's comments. I'm going red. Which
shade of red is another question.
My J2 (J2247) was red, although parts stolen from another engine were
green.
My PB (PB0560) was green, then red.
Who wants to tabulate the results?

Lawrie,
Great input. Should we take a count of engine colors in our Ps when we
obtained them? Mine was GREEN. Lawrie has accounted for 2 Ps that were
GREEN. Lew's block is GREEN. Anybody else?
I'm glad I painted my P engine 15 years ago because I wouldn't want to
choose now. But what color on an F block?
