According to the Strasburg RR, it will be returned to it's Strasburg paint job after this weekend is over. It was done this way for a photo charter that I believe takes place on Tuesday. Personally, I think the whitewalls and smokebox are pretty dang sharp looking and personally hope they have a change of heart and leave it that way!

I know the Great Western was a British railroad and that there is a Great Western of Colorado, but what Great Western did #90 run on?

The Great Western of Colorado, hauling sugar beets.

They left the 475 in N&W paint after a photo charter. I agree I hope they do the same with #90
Here is a nice video I found:
She sure does look sharp in that paint!
She does look good, but I personally prefer the Strasburg paint.
She sure does look great....thanks.
I definitely think the white walls are the best new feature on her 
Nice video! I liked the way the snow just "bowed off the rails gracefully" as she rode on down her[white] carpet debut!
BTW, Who's rr is that PV car #7503 "Frank W. Sutter"?
Oh boy...my favorite steam loco, and back in her original livery!! Needless to say,
I sure hope they leave it that way. Of course, when somebody finally models the
danged thing in three rail, in my life time?, they probably should do it both ways, GW and Strasburg...my order is in for the GW colors. (I am glad Third Rail is doing the N&W 4-8-0..different is good, and one of those I've seen on the Strasburg)
We should all rejoice that the Strasburg is saving both of these pieces of history.
Here's a repost of the original video I posted. I believe the guy who took it is a forum member.
I'm proud to say I'm partially responsible for #90's current/temporary appearance. Pete Lerro, Mitch Goldman and myself spent a few days painting and cleaning, and making sure she looked just right. As of now, there are still several finishing touches that need to take place before the charter on Tuesday, but she is essentially replicating her late 1950s GW look (minus the extended smokebox).
Those whitewalls took up most of my time. MAN those are tricky... but still worth it. Glad you guys enjoy it.
