Bay window cupola caboose
« on: May 05, 2014, 10:56:09 am »
Does anyone know the actual color of the Monon's bay window caboose's ? Possibly the RGB numbers for it? I am in the process of building a 1/8 scale model and wanted to paint it as accurate as possible. Thanks.

I remember in the CIL era (Pre 1957) and definitely in the 1940s) cabeese were a darker (Possibly Tuscan Red). Also some of the metal bay widow ones, the bay part was almost Black.
