Monorail Black

Greetings all,
Not sure if this belongs here as it's not SG related (maybe OCD). I've been reading through the boards, and I saw a picture of the MKIV black sitting next to the MKVI black for comparison. Looked like it was taken a couple floors up on the contemporary.
I am trying to locate it again, but can't seem to find the thread and my google-fu is failing me.
Does anyone have or know where to find that (or a similar comparison) picture?
Thanks!

Sorry, not from media. I have morals. I would however, safely classify myself as a strong 8.5 on the Disney nut-o-meter.
I'm lucky my assistant at work is also a Disney fan (so he doesn't have to fake it) and we were discussing tidbits about the monorails. Things like how Coral and Lime were sold and moved to Vegas (after a nose job). The difference between the MkIV and MkVI: nose cone shape (which the picture I'm thinking of showed) the buttons on the side of the cab, size, headlight shape, strobes on top etc.
I found SGT from wikipedia and was reading through the thread that was linked from there. From there, I browsed through other threads and now I can't remember where I had seen the overhead shot.

/me slowly raises his hand.
Someone was trying to put in there awhile ago that some number other than 4 was allowed in the front cab so I was attempting to cite BW as a source :)

Ha! I love it!
I would hope that SGT wouldn't ever be used for a source for exactly the reasons mentioned in the talk page. Sorry you got overruled though.

I think black would be kinda neat. Now black with an orange and yellow flame job would be the cat's ass.
(my luck ,Flame monorail will be there next year and i wont get credit.) :(
