Jacks are always nickle/chrome color. In 2001 we had colors, I am sure. The brass plating on the Loks DO wear off. The gold on the Bridge and Tuners are from two different worlds and do not match 100% in the plating color. The Loks as well are from a different source and we almost never used gold plating, only brass plating because of the heavy wear.
Some people DO change their hardware parts and not necessarily the Loks. From here, they go out matched in color.
