Equipment Paint Colors
Something to keep things in perspective:
Robert Frank sent me an email with this short anecdote-
"I met a fellow a few years ago who worked for the
DT&I down in Ironton. He
told me that when they needed to paint a caboose they
simply went to the
hardware store and bought whatever red paint was on
sale."
So if you REALLY want to be prototypical and paint your
models the same way the DT&I
painted their equipment, use whatever color is close
and already in your paint box; don't go out
and spend money on a new bottle of paint.
And just be glad the locos weren't painted DGLE....(sorry, slobbering Pennsy fans)
