Firstly, some background for the visitors that might not know what this wagon is used for. I will put the explanation here as I received it from Les Pivnic.

"The Vapour-Clarkson steam heat wagons were attached to all mainline passenger trains during the winter season. I mean all electrically or diesel-hauled mainline trains. There was a period starting in 1963 when Union Carriage supplied the type C-35 mainline saloons that the steam heaters had to work all year round because these coaches did not have independent electric water heaters. The SAR soon realized the shortcomings of these saloons and their successors supplied from 1969 - the C-36 - were fitted with electric water heaters. This allowed steam heaters to be overhauled during the summer season.

As far as I know all the different color schemes photographed here are still in use. I do not know if there is any color preference when the train sets are made up, espacially when looking at the mix and match of colors used on the rest of the train!
