Although it is possible to get colors so far off that they just do not look right at all, quite often--more often than not--Ed is rigiht. The color discussion surfaces from time to time on the CGW yahoo group. There being no CGW equipment around to inspect, some astute person in our group pointed out Gene Green's book on CGW equipment. Man alive, the "maroon" cabooses were different tones of Maroon.
It must have depeneded on the supplier and the batch and then over time the weathering. The plot thickens when the group gets to the CGW delivery diesel paint scheme: What about that maroon--touch of brown in it possibly-what about that red--SP scarlet or a bright caboose red. All anyone can do now is take a color photo, hope it was processed properly, and try to match the paint. The one awful rendition of colors I have seen was the Athearn NP passenger colors before the widely known two-tone Loewy green. The earlier paint scheme was beautiful, but Athearn definitely had no clue. Of course, I do not know enough about most roads to tell, but I have seen enough samples of GN, NP, CGW, M&StL, SOO LINE, CB&Q, and MILW to pick up on horrid inaccuracies. Otherwise, sit back and have a soda. Tom [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] The poll results are in....... To REPLY to the list, use REPLY ALL, to reply to the sender, use REPLY.
